‘It’s going to be May’ — Aljamain Sterling says Henry Cejudo fight still happening

Despite several delays, Aljamain Sterling says his next fight is ‘110 percent’ going to be against Henry Cejudo.

The reigning UFC bantamweight champion was rumored to defend against Cejudo at two separate pay-per-view events between the first and second quarter of 2023. First was UFC 285 in March, then UFC 287 in April, but neither of those was possible for the ‘Funk Master,’ who has delayed his return to deal with a bicep injury.

After weighing his options, Sterling has settled on stem cell treatment in the hopes of avoiding surgery and expediting his return, which he expects to be in May.
