BLOCKBUSTER BANTAMWEIGHT BATTLE! Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returns to Newark, N.J., for the first time in more than three years on Sat., May 6, 2023, with a blockbuster Bantamweight collision inside Prudential Center that will see Aljamain Sterling attempt another successful title defense against returning two-division titleholder and former gold medal-winning Olympic wrestler, Henry Cejudo. In UFC 288’s last-minute pay-per-view (PPV) co-main event, former Welterweight title challenger, Gilbert Burns, locks horns with No. 4-seeded contender, Belal Muhammad, in a five-round, 170-pound No. 1 contender eliminator match.
Since “The Assassin Baby” will be sequestered for fight week, his family held a special birthday party a few days early for his daughter Madison. Sadly, Moreno was unable to partake in the face-stuffing festivities because he’s trying to make the 135-pound limit — on the dot — for this weekend’s slobberknocker.
Figueiredo also got some airtime on Episode 2 of “Embedded.” After shooting some guns at a nearby range (welcome to Vegas), “Daico” paid a visit to fellow ex-champion Henry Cejudo. “Triple C” claims Figueiredo went from “killer” to “calculated killer” under his expert tutelage, though we won’t know for sure until fight night.
