UFC 288 live stream: Preview
Bantamweight champ Aljamain Sterling will be putting his belts on the line for the third time as the New Yorker faces Henry Cejudo at UFC 288 this weekend in New Jersey.
The east coast vs west coast clash sees Sterling take on Los Angeles-born Cejudo who is looking to regain the title he vacated following his retirement in 2020.
Sterling is on an eight-fight win streak that stretches back to 2018, while Cejudo hasn't stepped in the ring for close to three years.
Saturday's event at the Prudential Centre in New Jersey had been due to boast former lightweight champion Charles Oliveira's clash with title contender Beneil Dariush as its co-main event.
However, that showdown has now been postponed after Oliveria picked up an injury, forcing organisers to hastily send Gilbert Burns back to the Octagon just a few weeks after beating Jorge Masvidal at UFC 287. The Brazilian welterweight now steps in to face Belal Muhammad.
