UFC288 Beforemath: Can Henry Cejudo Recapture His Relinquished Throne? via BlaineHenryTFL
who came in from a year layoff and with a bum shoulder. Sterling walked through him. Now he faces the former champion Cejudo fresh off of a three-year absence. Win or lose, I feel Sterling will be wrongly criticized again even if he wins. But it is his job to win and he always goes out to do that. Sterling is the active fighter and that is a major part of this puzzle at UFC 288. With Cejudo sidelined for three years, Sterling can add another opportunistic win to his resume.
Cejudo isn’t a chronic overextender when it comes to his punches. But with the reach advantage Sterling has, He can draw a strike similar to this to duck under and get to the leg or go around the back to get his hooks in. He needs to be worried about Cejudo’s counter-wrestling though. Cejudo is a gold medalist at freestyle wrestling. During his Olympic run, Cejudo performed his best when he was behind and on the counter. Sterling needs to get his takedowns quickly and efficiently.
There are other x-factors in UFC 288’s main event. Has Cejudo been training in his time off? Will the size difference bother him? Can he deal with Sterling’s pressure and pace? Has Cejudo added new wrinkles to his game due to his time with Mike Tyson? All of these are speculative, and we cannot really quantify here. But we can look at what he’s done against very good opponents and how Sterling handles similar techniques.
Cejudo is no stranger to these trips either. He’s utilized them during his entire career, from wrestling to his two title runs in mixed martial arts. It has baffled his opponents and saved him in some disadvantageous positions.is tough for any fighter. Despite Cejudo’s wrestling pedigree, Johnson was able to stay out of trouble in their second fight at UFC 227. Cejudo attempted a single-leg takedown and found himself in a clinch with Johnson.
