After a three-year retirement, the 36-year-old Cejudo returned to the octagon in May, but failed in his attempt to regain the bantamweight title, losing a split decision to Aljamain Sterling. After the fight, Henry made it clear that he wanted to redeem himself for this defeat as soon as possible.
For 30-year-old Vera, this fight will be the first since losing a decision to Cory Sandhagen in March, which ended his four-fight winning streak. Prior to this setback, he had defeated fighters like Dominic Cruz, Rob Font and Frankie Edgar, constantly moving up the bantamweight rankings.
