Former two-division UFC champion Henry Cejudo seems to be interested in a fight with Jose Aldo.

Cejudo, 34, previously held the UFC flyweight and bantamweight belts, but retired after defending the latter against Dominick Cruz at UFC 249 in May of 2020.

Despite his retirement announcement, Cejudo has kept himself in the headlines by teasing comeback fights against a long list of flyweight, bantamweight and featherweight stars.

The latest fighter to land in the American’s crosshairs is 35-year-old Brazilian bantamweight contender Jose Aldo (31-7), who improved to three in a row with an impressive decision win over Rob Font (19-5) in the main event of UFC Vegas 44 on Saturday night in Las Vegas.

Cejudo teased a fight with Aldo on Twitter on Sunday.

While Cejudo (16-2) is still retired, it’s sounding increasingly likely that he’ll fight again in 2022.
