“I’m fighting May 6 against Henry Cejudo. I’m looking forward to the challenge,” Sterling said on his YouTube channel. “I think Henry is a very tough dude. Very accomplished in the wrestling world, I think also in the MMA world. he’s had his ups and downs the same way I have. He’s shown the ability to bounce back.”
According to MMA Junkie, who spoke with multiple sources, the fight hasn’t been signed just yet but is expected to be official soon.
