The American said that he received several injuries in a fight with Henry Cejudo, whom he defeated by unanimous decision on May 8 at UFC 288.
“I'm still injured. My legs hurt, my biceps are not doing well. I need to get another MRI. I'm trying to do my best to perform in August. The team and I discussed the situation a bit to determine the next steps. I just had fights. The swelling on the leg has decreased, but it still hurts. We'll see," Sterling was quoted as saying by MMA Mania.
