Cejudo to face Sterling in the main event, Burns and Muhammad face off in the co-main of UFC 288
The main event of UFC 288 will see Henry 'Triple C' Cejudo make a comeback after three years off. He'll challenge Aljamain Sterling for the 135 lb strap and look to make history once again.
In the co-main, welterweights Gilbert 'Durinho' Burns and Belal 'Remember the Name' Muhammad will face off in what is most likely a no.1 contender fight at 170 lbs. With a win, both fighters will have staked their claim for a title fight against the winner of Leon Edwards and Colby Covington.
The rest of the main card will be rounded out with fairly impressive bouts. Jessica Andrade vs Yan Xiaonan, Movsar Evloev vs Diego Lopes and Kron Gracie vs Charles Jourdain. Evloev was initially scheduled to face Bryce Mitchell, but Mitchell pulled out due to an undisclosed injury.
Other exciting bouts on the card include Drew Dober vs Matt Frevola. Dober is riding an impressive three-fight win streak and will look to keep his momentum going against Frevola. His fan-friendly brawler style is sure to make for an exciting bout to round off the prelims.
Kalinn 'Khaos' Williams, the explosive welterweight will make his return to the octagon on the prelims as well. Williams is set to face Rolando Bedoya at UFC 288. Check out the whole card here.
