'He's just a strange guy, and I'm not looking past him' - Aljamain Sterling on Henry Cejudo
The main event of UFC 288 will feature the much-anticipated return of 'Triple C' - Henry Cejudo - as he challenges reigning champion 'Funkmaster' for the bantamweight title. Both fighters seem extremely confident in their abilities, so the fight on Saturday may have all the makings of a Fight of the Night bout.
Both fighters also stand to win performance bonuses if they manage to pull off a spectacular victory or a finish. While speaking to the media in the UFC 288 pre-fight scrum, 'Funkmaster' said the following about Cejudo:
"He is a cringy guy. I think he's just very socially awkward. Other than that, as a competitor I respect him and everything he brings to the table. Him talking about him wanting to rip my face off and I'm like, 'If you want to rip my face off, you would have shown a little bit of a different energy, but you were unsure of yourself. Like you're going to be unsure of yourself in the octagon on May 6th'."
