Sterling: 'I didn't say Cejudo fight was cancelled'

UFC bantamweight title holder Aljamain Sterling called the ex-champion of the promotion in two weight categories Henry Cejudo wait for his full recovery from injury.

Sterling previously revealed that he would not be able to face Cejudo in March as he was seriously concerned about a bicep injury. After that, Sean O'Malley volunteered to replace the champion, to which Henry had already managed to agree.

“Are you going to run away, fat man? I didn't say the fight was cancelled! As for my injury, I am now consulting with doctors and the UFC. You can wait an extra month and I'll kick your ass. And if you lose to Sean, you're missing out on the chance to face the real king," Sterling tweeted.

Recall that in October last year, Sterling made his second defense of his title, defeating T.J. Dillashaw by technical knockout.
