UFC 288 PPV Lineup Set For ‘Sterling Vs Cejudo’

Former UFC bantamweight champion Henry Cejudo will end his retirement from MMA in an attempt to reclaim the crown he never lost against current 135-pound champion Aljamain Sterling, who looks to prove “Triple C” is nothing more than a tiny relic of a bygone era. Before that five-round title fight gets underway in “Dirty Jersey,” Charles Oliveira will face off against determined lightweight bruiser Beneil Dariush with a potential 155-pound title shot awaiting the winner. All that and so much more at UFC 288!
