Henry Cejudo has been flirting with the idea of returning to the UFC after retiring from MMA back in 2020. He has been wanting big fights but it seems like the promotion isn't so keen with him returning.

There is a possibility that Henry Cejudo has talked his way out of coming back to the UFC. The former champion admits he may not actually be able to return to the cage.

“I don’t think so,” Cejudo told MMA Junkie. “I think the way that things are going, I think I talked too much sh*t. I think I picked on (UFC president) Dana (White) a little too much. He’s just not going to pay me. I’ve accepted that. This is why I’m able to throw out the kitchen sink from now on because it’s never going to change. It’s not going to change.

“He’s going to pay Jorge. He’s going to pay the 1 percent. He’s going to pay the entertainers – and that’s partially what I am. I’m an entertainer. I could sell a damn fight and I can fight better than all those dudes combined. It sucks, but that’s just the way it is. It’s just business. I ain’t mad. (I’m) maybe a little frustrated, but I ain’t mad. That’s just life.”

Henry Cejudo is still interested in returning to the UFC but the money is simply not adding up for him. It's all about the fans and Dana White wanting him to come back before it's too late.

“You fans, you guys want me back, you guys get on Dana,” Cejudo said. “The only third party I have is you guys. You guys want to see me back, stop saying, ‘Oh, you’re ruining your prime, your career’ – no. You guys make a fuss about the pay, get me paid, and I’ll be back. I’ll fight 10 more times if I have to, but I’m just not doing it for that money.”
