Henry Cejudo.
After defending his bantamweight belt towards Dominick Cruz at UFC 249, champion Henry “Triple C” Cejudo unexpectedly retired from blended martial arts. Triple C received the battle by TKO on the finish of the second spherical and notched his first official bantamweight title protection.
Throughout his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan, Triple C retired from the game. It’s unclear for the time being if the champ is really strolling away from the game or not. Here’s a video of Cejudo retiring:
