Henry Cejudo vs Aljamain Sterling: UFC 287: Henry Cejudo can possibly make his return at UFC 287 against bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling, per reports. Although the paperwork is still undone, UFC matchmakers are reportedly aiming to book the fight. Follow UFC News Updates with InsideSport.IN.
Sterling has silenced his critics who tore him off on media for gaining the belt against Petr Yan via DQ. Having beaten Yan in a rematch and then TJ Dillashaw, ‘Aljo’ is now an A-listed UFC champion. It will be intriguing to see whether he can handle Henry Cejudo in the same way he did Yan and Dillashaw.
16-2 as a professional, Henry Cejudo is one of the greatest to have ever graced the UFC cage. He is a former two-weight champion, who retired in May 2020 after knocking out Dominick Cruz at UFC 249. Now that he is aiming for a return, ‘The Messenger’ will seemingly go straight at the gold.
