After three years of absence from the Octagon, Henry Cejudo returns to Ultimate in UFC 288, which takes place next Saturday (06), against the current bantamweight champion (up to 61,2kg) aljamain sterling. To warm up the clash that will be held in New Jersey (USA), remember the last 'Triple C' fight in the organization chaired by Dana White.

In May 2020, Cejudo made his first defense of the bantamweight belt won about a year earlier against the Brazilian Marlon moraes. On the other side of the octagon was the veteran and former champion Dominick Cruz. With a strategy of using low kicks to undermine his rival's movement, he found it difficult to enter the 'Dominator's' range of action.
However, in the second round, Cejudo took advantage of a gap left in an attack by Cruz and landed a straight knee that led to his rival being knocked down. Henry attacked his opponent and punished him with a barrage of punches until referee Keith Peterson interrupted.
