Henry Cejudo congratulates Aljamain Sterling and reveals what the future holds for him

On August 19, Henry Cejudo looked to get back from retirement in style by beating the bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling.

However, Cejudo is not going back into retirement and plans to return to the octagon from the looks of his Twitter:

"Congrats to @funkmasterMMA on a competitive fight. My goal was to finish Aljo, and I fell short. What's next? If I can't make history, then I'm not doing this sh*t. I’m addicted to gold and climbing mountains. All I can say is -- stay tuned"

While he was in the dressing room, he spoke to his team and revealed how he it had been a while since he fought and so he had to make adjustments inside the ring. He also stated that it was a tough fight and called for a rematch against Aljamain Sterling immediately.
