Aljamain Sterling has taken a firm stance demanding that Henry Cejudo fulfil their pre-UFC 288 bets. The two had reportedly made a bet that Cejudo would hand over his Olympic gold medal in case he lost. The clash between Sterling and Cejudo for the UFC bantamweight championship was a close one. But the judges ultimately declared Sterling the victor.
The intriguing twist in this story lies in the wager between the two fighters. Sterling and Cejudo agreed that if Sterling won and outperformed Cejudo in takedowns, Cejudo would surrender his Olympic gold medal. However, it appears that Henry Cejudo has yet to honor his part of the deal. This has led Sterling to voice his concerns during an interview with The Schmo.
Despite Cejudo’s recent praise for Sterling as the bantamweight GOAT, Sterling remains indifferent, considering it merely one person’s perspective. His primary focus remains on the unfulfilled promise of the gold medal. Sterling anxiously awaits the resolution of this matter, passionately exclaiming, “Where is my gold medal, Henry?”
Cejudo has recently taken to social media to challenge Aljamain Sterling’s teammate Merab Dvalishvili. With a professional record of 16-4, Merab Dvalishvili ranks #1 in the UFC bantamweight rankings.
