Aljamain Sterling has been among the elite bantamweights in the UFC for at least five years, perhaps longer. He's 22-3 overall in MMA, 15-3 in the UFC and has won 10 of his last 11 bouts.
Aljamain Sterling wears the title belt after defeating TJ Dillashaw in the bantamweight championship at the Ultimate Fighting Championship event at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi on October 22, 2022. Aljamain Sterling has been among the elite bantamweights in the UFC for at least five years, perhaps longer. He’s 22-3 overall in MMA, 15-3 in the UFC and has won 10 of his last 11 bouts.
Sterling doesn’t have the most exciting style, and typifies the style where winning if primary and looking good is for the next time out. Sterling is nothing if not a realist, though, and he hasn’t been fooled. This is the main event as much for the fact that Cejudo is coming out of a three-year retirement as it is for the New York City area fans to get a chance to see Sterling fight in person.
Cejudo is on a short list of the greatest fighters in MMA history. If he returns after a three-year absence and defeats Sterling and then goes on to eventually win a featherweight belt, it would be a massive story and might well crown him the sport’s GOAT.“To see the energy the staff has put behind [promoting the card], maybe it’s not for me to win, but I don’t really give a s***,” he said, beaming.
“I like to play spoiler,” he said. “What better way to do that than on the East Coast, first champion ever from Long Island to defend back home and shock the world once again against another former world champion?”
