Summary

While Aljamain Sterling will likely have his next UFC bantamweight title defense this summer — at least, according to Dana White — following his UFC 288 main event win, where does Henry Cejudo go after falling short in his comeback bid? Was that the final fight for the storied career of "Triple C"? On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee attempt to answer that question. And if Cejudo were to stick around, what would be the matchup to make? Additionally, future matchups are discussed for Belal Muhammad after his dominant decision victory in the co-main event, Gilbert Burns after being on the wrong end of the scorecards, Yan Xiaonan following her incredible finish of Jessica Andrade, along with Movsar Evloev, Charles Jourdain, and more.

All right, good morning, everybody, and welcome to a

0:29.8

brand new edition of on to the next one. We are live on the

0:33.5

M.A. Fighting YouTube channel. So for those watching live,

0:36.5

for those braving, the lack of sleep, like myself and my co-host

0:40.9

over here, welcome to the show. If you're a wise individual and

0:44.4

are listening to or watching the show after the fact, I don't

0:48.4

blame you whatsoever. It was a long night at UFC 288, a lot

0:53.4

happened. And we're going to talk about it all from a matchmaking

0:56.0

perspective. So thank you very much for being with us. I am my

0:59.1

cat, and joining me, the man to my right, the co-host, the

1:02.5

co-matchmaker, the principal positivity, dammit, my best friend.

And he's a Boston Celtic fan apparently. How dare you?

1:11.4

A little bit.

1:12.1

I never say it to my best friend. My best friend, I let you say

1:14.2

anything you want. Did you ever call me a Boston Celtic fan? I

1:17.0

am wearing the hoops of the majestic Celtic FC who are playing

1:20.6

right now against hearts to try and clinch their 14th title in

1:25.4

the last 20 years. It's a real struggle. It's a real struggle for

1:28.9

Celtic fans apparently. I'm a very new Celtic fan, but I've

1:31.4

been told it's a painful, arduous process where your team only
