“That motherf**ker is frail,” Aljamain Sterling promises to fold Sean O’Malley in half after impressive Henry Cejudo win

Aljamain Sterling successfully defended his title for the third time, this time against Henry Cejudo who makes his return at UFC 2888 after being away from the octagon for nearly three years. Sean O’Malley challenges Aljamain Sterling inside the octagon, but Sterling isn’t too worried about his new challenger.

With plenty of hiccups and last-minute cancellations later, UFC 288 is finally over. Aljamain Sterling and Henry Cejudo headline the main event at the Bantamweight title bout at the Prudential Centre in Newark, New Jersey. Both fighters put up an excellent performance with the fight going to the judges. Aljamain Sterling won the fight via split decision and retained his title. Meanwhile, Sugar Sean was ready to challenge the Bantamweight champion and walked into the ring where both fighters exchanged a heated debate.

Aljamain Sterling addressed the confrontation with O’Malley inside the octagon at the post-fight press conference. “My thoughts on Sean O’Malley is that motherf*cker is frail,” Sterling said. “You think if I can take down a short stocky guy like Henry, who’s actually a gold medalist and actually has good takedown defense, what am I going to do to Sean O’Malley? Let’s be honest here, guys.“ Henry Cejudo was the reigning champion in the division before his hiatus. He is a former two-division champion and Olympic gold medalist in wrestling.

Sterling says that Sean O’Malley reportedly handed the title shot to Cejudo for his UFC comeback and now has no option but to face him. Aljo is confident that he can put down O’Malley in the first round. “I guarantee you, we step in there and I fold that man in half in one round. Same thing I did to Sandhagen,” he said. The two are reportedly expected to fight soon. UFC President Dana White stated that they may face off in August at UFC 292 in Boston, Massachusetts.
