Bisping is betting on Cejudo making a comeback and defeating Sterling for the championship title. Both fighters were not very confident in their predictions, but Smith has decided to choose a different path.
Michael Bisping and Anthony Smith shared their forecasts for the main event of UFC 288.
On Saturday, May 6, UFC 288 will be held live in Newark, New Jersey. Sterling, who is from Long Island, is expected to have the support of the hometown crowd, but Cejudo may upset the odds. Bisping and Smith were unable to reach a consensus on this fight, so they will reconvene on Monday morning to determine who was correct and who was mistaken.
Michael Bisping and Anthony Smith have shared their predictions for the upcoming UFC pay-per-view event, as they typically do for major fights. The two fighters recently discussed the bout on YouTube, offering their opinions on who they believe will emerge victorious and become the undisputed champion following Saturday’s fight card.
Although I’m not entirely sure, I do think that Cejudo has more punching power. He has demonstrated this in his victories over Demetrious Johnson, Dillashaw, and Cruz. Even though these fights were a few years ago, I still believe that Cejudo has what it takes to win.
Although not entirely confident, Smith made a promise to quit and has since been paying closer attention to Aljo’s fights. Despite always seeing a path to victory for the other fighter, Smith believes Aljo’s wrestling and grappling skills will give him an advantage over Cejudo due to his quick transitional attacks. Therefore, Smith is rooting for Aljo to win.

This weekend, there’s a highly anticipated bantamweight title fight happening in New Jersey at UFC 288. Aljamain Sterling, the current UFC champion, will defend his title against Henry Cejudo, a former two-division champion. The fight is being promoted as a battle between the new and old champions, as well as the new and old guard. Cejudo has been absent from the sport for three years since his retirement in 2020, but he’s returned with the goal of reclaiming his lost bantamweight title.
