Summary

Aljamain Sterling made history on Saturday by becoming the first UFC bantamweight champion to defend their title three consecutive times in the main event of UFC 288, and spoiled the long-awaited return of former two-division champion Henry Cejudo in the process during the UFC's return to Newark, N.J. MMA Fighting's Mike Heck, Shaheen Al-Shatti, and Jed Meshew react to Sterling's victory over Cejudo, discuss how they scored the 135-pound championship bout, if that was Cejudo's final fight, and the more-than-likely next championship bout between Sterling and Sean O'Malley. Additionally, topics include Belal Muhammad's dominant decision win over Gilbert Burns in the five-round co-main event, if Muhammad's next fight will actually be for the welterweight title, Yan Xiaonan's show-stealing finish of Jessica Andrade, Matt Frevola's massive stoppage win over Drew Dober, and more.
