The 33-year-old Sterling said he thought Cejudo's comeback “was a joke” when the fight was first pitched to him. “As good as these guys are, I also start to understand my ability a little more,” Cejudo said. Cejudo rattled off a list of fantastic fighters he helped train during his break and realized he still had the elite skill level needed to compete at the highest level. But the explanation for his comeback does, in fact, dive a bit deeper than a lucrative payday. Sometimes, though, the answer for why fighters fight is the easy one. To truly etch his name on the short list of greatest pound-for-pound UFC fighters in history. To reclaim the championship he never lost against a fighter Cejudo believes doesn’t have the credentials to rival his MMA pedigree. These must be the reasons why Cejudo ended his sabbatical, right? For his wife, who will be among the crowd Saturday night at UFC 288. Meanwhile, the bantamweight belt shuffled from waist to waist before Sterling unified the division last April and he won his last defense against T.J. He married wife, Karolina, had a baby and another one is due this year. So Cejudo called it a day and decided to train fighters at Jackson’s MMA Acoma gym in Arizona.
