With Henry Cejudo seemingly having a spot on the UFC 188 fight card in Mexico City essentially locked up, it would appear all he needs now is a dance partner.

Jussier Formiga (17-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC) is hopeful he can fill that role and attempt to put the first blemish on Cejudo’s (8-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) perfect record at the June 13 event.

Cejudo is fresh off a unanimous decision victory over Chris Cariaso at UFC 185. He handily defeated the former flyweight No. 1 contender with a mixed attack of striking, grappling and submission attempts.

The victory marked a key moment in Cejudo’s career because it was his official 125-pound debut. He failed to make the weight class on several occasions before, but for this fight, he said he renewed his dedication to training and nutrition in order to make weight.

Cejudo’s weight cut went out without a hitch, and his performance led many to believe that he could soon be a challenger to current flyweight champ Demetrious Johnson.

The 28-year-old has the complete package. He won a gold medal in the 2008 Olympic games, speaks fluently in multiple languages and has world-class skills in the octagon.

Cejudo requested a fight on the Mexico City card this summer because both his parents were born in that part of the country. He pleaded his case to get on that card, and UFC President Dana White immediately granted his wish at UFC 185’s post-fight press conference.

Cejudo also requested a top-five opponent for his next bout, and Formiga fits that criteria.

The Brazilian at one time was ranked as the No. 1 flyweight in the world, but is currently No. 4 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA flyweight rankings. He’s battled to find consistency since he joined the UFC roster, but is currently on a two-fight winning streak against solid competition in Zach Makovsky and Scott Jorgensen.

Formiga was last seen in the octagon in August 2014 and has been out since due to injury. The 29-year-old stated on Twitter that he’s now healthy, ready to compete, and would like nothing more than to be Cejudo’s opponent at UFC 188.

UFC 188 takes place at Mexico City Arena in Mexico City. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.
