Sterling hopes to recover in time to fight Cejudo at UFC 285
The champion doesn't want to miss another title defense.
A bout between UFC bantamweight title holder Aljamain Sterling and MMA veteran Henry Cejudo at the March 4 event remains in doubt.
Earlier it became known that the champion could withdraw from the fight due to a shoulder injury. However, some time later, Sterling denied the refusal, saying that he was doing everything possible to participate in the March tournament.
“My team and I are doing everything to ensure that UFC 285 sees our fight with Henry. If I can, there will be a duel. Give me some time and I'll tell you everything, ”said the athlete.
According to Sterling, he is very optimistic, and doctors do not draw any categorical conclusions, thus leaving him a chance.
