Aljamain Sterling is gearing up to defend his bantamweight championship title at the UFC 288 main-event bout against Henry Cejudo on May 6. Currently on an impressive 8-fight win streak, the ‘Funk Master’ is leaving no stone unturned in his preparations for this highly-anticipated matchup and is ready to take on ‘Triple C’.

Recently, Sterling updated his fans with a glimpse of his fight-ready physique ahead of UFC 288. The transformation the 33-year-old has been able to make has caused a stir among fans, who are excited to see how he will perform in the octagon.

Can’t see Henry Cejudo as the same anymore

In a recent interview with Megan Olivi, Aljamain Sterling raised doubts about Henry Cejudo’s ability due to his long hiatus from the octagon. While acknowledging that his opponent is working hard, he questioned whether the break has affected Cejudo’s performance.

He said, “I know he is putting in a lot of serious work. But I don’t know if he’s going to be Henry Cejudo of three years ago. The same speed, the same strength. He might be a little bit slower, is reaction time might be a little bit slower.”
