Former UFC double champion, American fighter Henry Cejudo commented on the upcoming fight with Georgian Merab Dvalishvili. The bout will take place on February 18 at UFC 298.
This is all or nothing. I sat with the team, and I was like, 'It's either gold or bust.' I either win it all, or I'm not going to have it at all and I'm out. I'm done. Yeah, 100 percent, [I will retire]. It's big time pressure. I'm not going to continue to fight just to fight. I want to be the best in the world.
