Henry Cejudo Announces He's Not Retiring From UFC Despite Loss to Merab Dvalishvili

Former UFC flyweight Champion and bantamweight champion Henry Cejudo announced on his YouTube channel that he will not be retiring despite his unanimous decision loss to Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 298 last Sunday.

Cejudo previously said he would "100 percent" retire with a loss, but he's apparently changed plans.

Cejudo has announced his retirement before, doing so after beating Dominick Cruz via second-round TKO to defend his UFC bantamweight title in May 2020.

Three years later, Cejudo returned to the Octagon to try to reclaim his old belt against Aljamain Sterling. He lost via split decision.

Cejudo's loss to Dvalishvili marked just the fourth MMA defeat of his professional career in 20 matches.
