After seeing how little his purse was, I don't blame him. He should stay active and collect some paychecks. Fortunately for him, he really hasn't taken much damage in his career (to the head anyways), so he can probably still be a good gatekeeper for a bit without me worrying about the guys health.

If by "step down" you mean he's fighting Umar next lol. UFC is in the business of building names off the old guys, Henry isn't getting any favorable tune ups I imagine.

Let him fight Guida for a loser leaves town match

The Machine will extract all juice out of Cejudo's name and fame --

the rest will be roughage, crapped out.

Good, judging by the first round he can still be a problem in the div, Merab just meltd people.

Time to book him vs FKL so we can finally settle the samurai vs barbarian debate

Guess he's fighting Sandhagen next

Probably too yoked to make 125 again but definitely fun fights for him at 135 vs Yan/Song/Font/Munhoz/Umar/Sandhagen/Chito.

I've always enjoyed watching Henry fight & I hope he has a few more in him. Gonna need a W next time out so I bet Ali gets him a good matchup. My money is on Chito if he loses to Omalley, if not then Font. Honestly he should just have Ali shoot for Font. That's a guaranteed W if one exists in the top 15

Dana White doesn't like him. We all know what types of fights they will offer him

He looked really good in the 1st

He's still a beast and looks like he has gas left in the tank to me. Pleased he's sticking around and hope he can stay active.

Yeah it’s a shame he slowed down so much in the 2nd and 3rd. Had he kept up the pace and pressure, he beats Merab.

True but I could see Ali talking them into an easier matchup & THEN fighting whichever up-&-Comer they would like.

That said, Umar vs Cejudo in Saudi would be an excellent co-main.
