After scoring a huge technical KO win against one of the most dominant bantamweights in UFC history, Henry Cejudo has announced that he is ready to leave the sport.

“Triple C” feels that he has nothing left to prove in the world of MMA, claiming that he will go down as the greatest combat sports athlete of all time.

“Ultimately, I’m happy and I’m satisfied with my career. How many can say that they’re leaving on top? Money can’t give you that, it really can’t,” Cejudo said in his post-fight interview against Cruz.

Cejudo will go down as one of the best bantamweights in UFC history, ending his career with a six-game winning streak, with five via way of knockout.

The ultimate plan for Cejudo after retiring will be engaging in real estate or even joining the WWE family, he said.

“I don’t know that much about real estate but I’m very intrigued by it and I would love for the cameras to follow me around to see me step-by-step, all the mistakes that I’m going make, all the good, the bad, and the ugly,” Cejudo added.
