In a highly anticipated return to the octagon after a three-year-long hiatus, former UFC flyweight and bantamweight champion Henry Cejudo was ready to make a splash at UFC 288. However, his hopes were dashed by Aljamain Sterling, who successfully defended his belt with a split decision win at New Jersey’s Prudential Center. With this defeat, the ‘Funk Master’ put an end to Cejudo’s six-fight winning streak, leaving the former champ reeling from the unexpected setback. Although many have put out the thoughts of results, which have come out as controversial to them.

Despite this major blow, it seems that Cejudo is already fired up to take on yet another opponent. The 36-year-old has expressed his desire to face off against Sean O’Malley and UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski. However, it appears that ‘Triple C’ has had a change of heart and has set his sights on another bantamweight fighter as his next challenge.
