UFC lightweight champion Aljamain Sterling revealed that he is still recovering from a biceps injury, so he won't be able to fight Henry Cejudo in March.
I still have a torn bicep. I'm the one who will have to do training camp again with this injury and then fight a guy who is stronger in wrestling. I need a healthy arm to perform at 100 percent. I don't think Cejudo is an easy opponent. Will you see me in the cage in March? I don't think so.

Cejudo last stepped into the Octagon against his compatriot Dominick Cruz in May 2020 at UFC 249. That fight ended with Henry winning by TKO in the second round. He has 16 wins and two losses under his belt.
Sterling last entered the Octagon in October 2022, during UFC 280. That time he defeated T.J. Dillashaw by TKO in the second round. Aljamain has 22 wins and three losses on his record.
