Aljamain Sterling successfully defended his bantamweight title once again against the former champion Henry Cejudo in a closely contested fight. Sterling surprised everyone in the opening round by taking down Cejudo, who had only been taken down twice before in his UFC career. Despite the close fight, Sterling emerged as the victor, putting an end to all the doubters. Commentators were discussing how close the fight was at the end, but Sterling proved his worth and retained his belt.

Sterling was the dominant fighter in the first round, but Cejudo started to get better in the second round. However, in the third round, Sterling took down Cejudo again and got his back. This proved to be a decisive moment in the fight, as Sterling gained the upper hand and ultimately won the fight. Sterling’s natural body reach and size gave him a clear advantage, and he had the edge in significant strikes. It was surprising to see how easily Sterling handled takedowns from the Olympic gold medalist wrestler Cejudo.

In addition to defending his title, Sterling now has another feather in his cap. He has become the second bantamweight fighter in UFC history to defend his title four times, behind only TJ Dillashaw with five title defenses. Sterling’s impressive record and performance prove that he is a force to be reckoned with in the bantamweight division. His skill and natural abilities make him a formidable opponent for anyone who crosses his path.
