“You can bend the knee”- Aljamain Sterling reveals why he doesn’t take Henry Cejudo too seriously

After defending his title at UFC 273, Aljamain Sterling is looking to maintain his 7-fight win streak in his upcoming bout. The Funkmaster is scheduled to fight the former two-time UFC Bantamweight champion, #2 T.J. Dillashaw at UFC 280 on 22nd October. The Funkmaster claimed the title by defeating the then champion Petr Yan by DQ at UFC 259.

In the aftermath of the controversial win at UFC 259, the majority of fight fans didn’t consider The Funkmaster(21-3) as a real champion. He proved the doubters wrong by defeating Petr Yan the second time by Split Decision at UFC 273, retaining his title in the process. After losing at the hand of Marlon Moraes back in 2017 at UFC Fight Night 123, Aljo bounced back racking up a 7-fight win streak.

On the other hand, Henry Cejudo is a former UFC Double Champ. He held the Flyweight as well as the Bantamweight title simultaneously back in 2019. After fighting Dominick Cruz on May 9, 2020, at UFC 249, Triple C (16-2) announced his retirement from professional fighting. In recent times he is teasing a UFC return to fight for the title. Triple C is also back in the USADA testing pool.
