UFC May Schedule Interim Bantamweight Title Fight During Sterling's Absence
The division champion recovers from a shoulder injury.
A March bout between UFC bantamweight title holder Aljamain Sterling and veteran Henry Cejudo has been called into question due to an injury to the champion.
Against this background, Sterling did not rule out that the head of the league, Dana White, during his forced absence, could meet his favorite and introduce the title of interim champion.
In this case, the fight with Cejudo will most likely be the first number of the division, Sean O'Malley.
However, for Sterling himself, this does not fundamentally change anything, because after returning to the octagon, he will in any case have to defend his belt as a permanent bantamweight champion.
