Media Sterling says he will fight Cejudo in May

[Dreyga Hates You Sherbums]

He’s gonna get stem cells for his torn bicep

 

[Crazy Librarian]

I really don't like this match up. I feel like Cejudo doesn't deserve it, only having 1 title defense against an aging injury prone out of prime Dominick Cruz and being out of the game for so long.

Sterling vs Suga would really interest me.

Cejudo has been retire for 2-3 years and got the title shot...
At batamweight division, the best division nowadays, full of killers and propects. Dana white as always fucking up the rankings....

Having Vera, O'Malley, Sandhagen,Yan, Merab...all of them deserving the title shot...

 

[Chayanne]

Cejudo is a joke, blablabla

 

[AbominableJoman]

Al having one of the weirdest title runs ever.

Wins title by illegal knee/acting.

Defends by controversial dec

Defends against already severely injured tj

Defends against retired guy

What a bad way to frame it

Cejudo is still a much harder fight for him than Omalley. I was expecting Sterling to go for Omalley

 

[Travis Alexander]

Not sure why many seem upset about this matchup. Cejudo is a very very tough fight for Aljo stylistically, I’m surprised he didn’t push for O’Malley who is easier by a wide margin and would sell many more PPV’s (which Aljo gets his champs cut of). I respect him for going after the tougher test.

I'm not listening to this yet when I gotta get to work, but last I heard, Sterling was flying out to like Columbia for some stem cell stuff to avoid bicep surgery? I don't know if this video was after that announcement, but I figure it's still before the stem cell treatment has had time to settle, so I doubt this is something Sterling can say in confidence, when bicep surgery is still on the table.

Good. Looking forward to this fight.

Watch Sterling hit Cejudo with a low kick, and Cejudo's foot pops off and we find out it's actually a really well-disguised prosthetic. Turns out he lost his foot months ago, and is fighting again to afford the bills.

Sterling remains champ

Plus Cejudo has a very good chance of winning and walking away or holding the best hostage for another "money fight".
In any case it would make a unnecessary clusterfuck in the division.

Huh? Lol Cejudo retired as a champion and you don’t think he deserves to prove he’s championship material?

 

[magpie878]

I really hope Cejudo is as good as before he left. Excellent fighter.

No, he doesn't. He's been gone forever.

 

[CashMoney1991]

I am fine with this, CCC retired cus of a contract dispute, there's no real number 1 contender outside Vera O malley got a gifted decision

I agree.

A Cejudo comeback is super interesting, but fucking over all those elites at 135 is wrong.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Cejudo will clown him like Bozo.

 

[Crazy Librarian]

Lol. Having weak title defenses will ensure you to retire as a champion. Dominick Cruz was far from a top 5 fighter when Cejudo defended.

Strip the title from Aljo and have Omalley vs Henry for the belt. Aljo can get first shot when he comes back or Chito depending on timelines. He’s injured and everytime he talks the timeline slips more, keep the division moving!

UFC must have other plans in mind for O'Malley right? He would be the obvious next yet it's Cejudo getting a shot. Maybe they are giving him time to improve his grappling? Not sure and seems like a mystery.
