Sterling announced this in another video posted on his YouTube channel.
“The question is if I can compete with a torn bicep again,” said the UFC champion. “To go through another training camp with a torn bicep, preparing for a fight with a guy who is strong in wrestling and will fight … I will need a bicep to perform one hundred percent. And I don’t take Henry Cejudo lightly. Is it possible for me to fight in March? I do not think so”
Both fighters had previously confirmed that the bout was set up, however, Cejudo revealed that Sterling had not yet signed a contract for the fight, which is scheduled for March. As for the representatives of the UFC, they did not make any official statements on this matter.
