Aljamain Sterling recently revealed that he has still not been cleared to compete in his home stay of New York. What does that mean for his UFC 288 main event showdown with Henry Cejudo? Absolutely nothing.
Aljamain Sterling’s bantamweight title fight with ‘Triple C’ will emanate from the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, a hop, skip, and a jump away from NYC. Before stepping inside the Octagon for his third defense of the 135-pound crown, the ‘Funk Master’ appeared on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani. While discussing his return to the Garden State, Sterling revealed that he has still not been cleared for competition in New York.
