Henry Cejudo may be retired from MMA, but the former UFC two-division champion still has plans to compete.
“Triple C” will make his return to action for Real American Freestyle (RAF) atop the RAF06 lineup on Sat., Feb. 28, 2026 at Mullett Arena in Tempe, Arizona, against an opponent to be named. The event will stream exclusively on FOX Nation with tickets going on sale to the general public on Jan. 2 via Ticketmaster.
Cejudo, now 38, became the youngest American Olympic gold medalist in wrestling history, taking home the top prize in the 2008 Summer Games. In addition, “Triple C” was also a Pan American Games gold medalist, a Pan American Champion gold medalist, and a US National Champion in freestyle wrestling.
Cejudo retired from UFC earlier this month following a decision loss to Payton Talbott at UFC 323.
Next up for RAF is the RAF05 card on Jan. 10 in Sunrise, headlined by the 195-pound showdown pitting former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold against three-time welterweight title challenger Colby Covington. Elsewhere on the card, UFC lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan collides with PFL veteran Lance Palmer.
In addition, Bo Nickal is expected to battle Yoel Romero.
