The Road to Recovery and Reflection
The past six months have been a period of healing and recalibration for Henry Cejudo. His recent return to fighting after a three-year hiatus ended with two consecutive losses, prompting a re-evaluation of his career path. Currently, Cejudo is diligently managing an injury, emphasizing the importance of being fully healed before committing to another run. He’s been icing his injury extensively, prioritizing a complete recovery over a rushed return. This focus on his physical well-being is crucial, as he’s learned from past experiences, like fighting with a torn hamstring in his last bout, a mistake he vows not to repeat. While he could potentially fight now, Cejudo is committed to waiting until he is 100% healthy to ensure he can compete at his absolute best.
Considering a Return to Bantamweight
Despite his recent setbacks, the allure of competition remains strong for Henry Cejudo, and the bantamweight division is a significant consideration. This is the division he famously returned to, and he believes he played a pivotal role in its resurgence. Cejudo sees continued potential in bantamweight, especially with the influx of new talent. He’s contemplating a comeback with an eye on challenging top contenders and potentially reclaiming a title. The possibility of facing fighters like Brandon Moreno again, especially in Mexico, presents a compelling narrative for a potential final run. He’s taking his time to carefully weigh all these factors before making a definitive decision about his next move.
A Look at the Flyweight Division
Beyond bantamweight, the flyweight division is also a distinct possibility for Henry Cejudo, who celebrated his 37th birthday in February. He recognizes the dynamic nature of the bantamweight landscape, with hungry contenders vying for dominance. However, Cejudo believes his personality and fighting style could thrive in the flyweight division, which he feels he helped elevate previously. He’s analyzed the current state of flyweight, noting the emerging talents and potential matchups. Cejudo is driven by the pursuit of gold and believes that if he can make the cut to 125 pounds and maintain discipline, he’s confident in his ability to defeat anyone in that division. A rematch with Brandon Moreno at flyweight is particularly appealing, offering a chance for redemption and a significant payday in Mexico.
