The two 135-pound fighters are some of the best the UFC has on its roster and they will go head-to-head at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey later this week. The current champion Aljamain Sterling, with a record of 22 wins and 3 losses, hasn’t lost in a long time. Henry Cejudo looks forward to changing that and as an Olympic wrestler is adapted with the skills to tackle the champion’s grappling strikes.

But the excitement surrounding the much-anticipated fight has already begun. The two fighters had an unexpected encounter at a hotel recently. Both shared a calm and respectful, and to the dismay of some fans, nobody tried to instigate or rile up any drama prior to the fight. After a brief interaction, the two went their separate ways.

Fans reacted to the little interaction the fighters had prior to the big fight. Many didn’t like the calm and friendly demeanor both the fighters shared and voiced their displeasure on Twitter. These are some of the fan reactions:

Aljamain Sterling has received plenty of criticism since becoming the UFC champion. Sterling became the champion back in 2021 when he won against Petr Yan at UFC 259. Now he is ready to put Cejudo in his place and show everyone who the real champ is. “There’s no animosity, I don’t want that to come off that way. I’m not trying to force anything. I’m not trying to fake anything [but] the guy talks a lot,” Sterling said about Cejudo.
