Henry Cejudo's Final Bow: A Career Retired, but Not Forgotten

Henry Cejudo is stepping back into the spotlight for one last fight at UFC 323, going toe-to-toe with Payton Talbott. At 38, this decorated champion, known for holding titles in two divisions along with an Olympic gold medal, is ready to call it quits after a career that dates back to age 11. But while he’s looking to make an impressive exit from the Octagon, he’s also contemplating a fresh start beyond fighting.

In a recent chat, Cejudo revealed that he’s excited about turning the page to what he calls his “second chapter” in life. He’s grateful for the journey and the coaches who helped him along the way, but he’s keeping the fight mentality intact—”it’s all business in there,”he insists. Looking ahead, he’s also diving into real estate and other ventures, hinting that he may be trading in his fighting gloves for a set of house keys!

As Cejudo prepares for this milestone, one can’t help but wonder: what will his transition be like? With his incredible legacy in mind, it’s clear that while he might be leaving the cage, he won’t soon be forgotten. What’s your guess on how he’ll adjust to life after the Octagon?
