Following a successful, if delayed, UFC debut at bantamweight, Olympic gold medalist wrestler Henry Cejudo is getting another shot at flyweight. UFC officials on Monday announced that Cejudo, after debuting at bantamweight, would be allowed to make another attempt at 125 pounds when he faces Chris Cariaso at UFC 185 on March 14 in Dallas. Cejudo (7-0) was slated to make his Octagon debut at UFC 177 last August, but his fight with Scott Jorgensen was cancelled on the day of weigh-ins due to medical concerns after Cejudo had trouble cutting weight. The UFC gave him an ultimatum. Cejudo could make his UFC debut at 135 pounds or walk away.
