After a pair of cards in their Las Vegas home base, UFC returns to pay-per-view, and New Jersey, for a card headlined by a championship matchup in the bantamweight division for UFC 288 on May 6. After three years away, former two-division champion Henry Cejudo is back to regain the 135-pound title from current king Aljamain Sterling.
The co-main event is a wild short-notice scrap between a pair of top-five fighters in our UFC welterweight rankings and will see elite 170-pounders in Gilbert Burns and Belal Muhammad face off in a matchup with serious title fight ramifications.
Plus, several other Octagon favorites like Jessica Andrade, Bryce Mitchell and “Khaos” Williams will be back in action at the Prudential Center.
With that in mind, let’s make a few bold UFC predictions for the promotion’s next PPV event.
