Henry Cejudo to be Aljamain Sterling's presumed UFC opponent
The champion will have another defense in 2023.
UFC bantamweight title holder Aljamain Sterling will face league veteran Henry Cejudo in his next fight. This will be in 2023.
At the very least, the manager of the latter, Ali Abdelaziz, announced this as a decision made by the management of the promotion.
According to the specialist, Cejudo has not been performing for a long time, but he was once the champion of the promotion twice, and the title fight was given to him in honor of past merits and as the last chance to prove himself.
At the same time, the current first number of the division, Sean O'Malley, who sensationally defeated Russian Petr Yan in Abu Dhabi, was very persistently claiming the title fight with Sterling.
