Henry Cejudo and Aljamain Sterling were forced apart during their intense final face-off at the UFC 288 ceremonial weigh-ins ahead of their historic bantamweight title showdown.
The legendary former two-weight champion Cejudo returns to action after three years of retirement to attempt to take the throne from Aljamain Sterling, the current title holder at 135lb. Both men are known for their ability on the microphone, with Cejudo particularly infamous for his outbursts as the UFC's 'king of cringe' over the years.
And after a frosty fight week that included an intense press conference yesterday that at times lived up to Cejudo's nickname, the pair came head-to-head one last time at the Prudential Center in Newark after both making weight. Sterling tipped the scales at 134lb after admitting that the cut had been harder than usual, while Cejudo was comfortable, weighing in 135lb early in the day.
