Other main card fights include a women’s strawweight bout between former champion Andrade and rising contender Xiaonan and a featherweight bout between undefeated prospect Movsar Evloev and promotional newcomer Diego Lopes.

Main Event Preview

Aljamain Sterling

• Nationality: American
• Age: 33
• Height: 5′ 7″
• Reach: 71″
• Total fights: 25
• Record: 22-3-0

Sterling began his pro career in 2009 as a featherweight, winning two regional titles before dropping to bantamweight. He signed with the UFC in 2014 and quickly rose up the ranks with his funky wrestling and submission skills. Sterling faced some setbacks in his UFC career, losing three fights in five after an impressive start of a 12-fight winning streak. However, he bounced back with an impressive five-fight win streak (now eight straight wins), defeating top contenders such as Pedro Munhoz and Cory Sandhagen to earn a shot at then-champion Petr Yan. He then became the first UFC champion to win a title by disqualification when Yan illegally kneed him in the head at UFC 259.

Sterling has so far defended his twice, first in a rematch against Yan at UFC 273. He won the bout via split decision in a close and controversial fight. In his next title defense, the bantamweight champion faced T.J. Dillashaw and won via T.K.O. He is currently ranked no.6 in the UFC men’s pound-for-pound rankings and is set to face Henry Cejudo in a super fight at UFC 288.

Henry Cejudo

• Nationality: American
• Age: 36
• Height: 5′ 4″
• Reach: 64″
• Total fights: 18
• Record: 16-2-0

Henry Cejudo is one of the few fighters who have held UFC titles in two different weight classes simultaneously and is widely regarded as one of the greatest combat athletes of all time. Cejudo began his professional MMA career in 2013, after a successful wrestling career that saw him become the youngest American Olympic champion in 2008 at age 21. He joined the UFC in 2014 and quickly rose through the ranks of the flyweight division. He then challenged Demetrious Johnson for the flyweight title in 2016 but lost by first-round knockout. The American bounced back with two wins to earn another shot at Johnson, this time winning by split decision.

Cejudo then moved up to bantamweight and faced TJ Dillashaw, who was the champion of that division and had dropped down to challenge Cejudo for his flyweight belt. Cejudo knocked out Dillashaw in 32 seconds, retaining his title. He then moved up to bantamweight and won the title against Marlon Moraes at UFC 238. This made him only the fourth fighter in UFC history to hold titles in two weight classes simultaneously, following in the footsteps of UFC greats Conor McGregor, Daniel Cormier, and Amanda Nunes. He retired after his first successful title defense but has now decided he still has some fire in his belly.

⚠ Free Streaming Precautions

It’s important to understand that free streaming apps do not own the content they provide access to. Instead, the developers of these apps distance themselves from any legal liabilities by claiming that the apps only act as search engines for links. As a result, it’s quite easy to access pirated content using these apps, and the user is ultimately responsible for any legal consequences that may arise.

If you choose to use free streaming apps, we strongly advise taking precautions to hide your IP address from websites and copyright trolls and encrypting your activities to avoid ISP spying. However, choosing a reliable VPN service is crucial to ensure your online safety and protect yourself from any potential security risks.
