In the co-main event, it’s a pivotal clash in the welterweight division when top contenders Gilbert Burns and Belal Muhammad collide.
Returning to the Octagon for the first time since his May 2020 victory over Dominick Cruz, Cejudo is one of the most decorated athletes in combat sports with an Olympic gold medal in wrestling and bantamweight and flyweight world titles in the UFC. But on this Cinco de Mayo weekend, the proud Mexican-American will be in with the best bantamweight in the world in Sterling, the current titleholder who has won eight in a row, defeating Cory Sandhagen, Petr Yan and TJ Dillashaw along the way.
