How To Watch UFC 288: Fight Times And Streaming Info for Sterling vs. Cejudo
There is only one more day remaining until the action at UFC 288 gets underway. Live from the Prudential Center in New Jersey, there is a lot of anticipation building as bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling prepares to defend his belt against former two-division (flyweight/bantamweight) champion Henry Cejudo.
After announcing his retirement following a victory against Dominick Cruz in 2020, Cejudo is gearing up for his first bout in nearly three years. Sterling is coming off a successful title defense in October after winning by TKO in the second round against T.J. Dillashaw, who was hampered by a dislocated shoulder. Interestingly enough, Cejudo is regarded as a slight favorite ahead of the title fight despite his time off.
