Sterling promises to deal with Cejudo in the first round

UFC Bantamweight Champion Aljamain Streling shared his thoughts about the upcoming fight with Sean O'Malley.

"O'Malley is a fragile bastard. If I was able to knock down a short and strong guy like Cejudo, who is an Olympic freestyle wrestling champion with excellent takedown defense, then what will I do with Sean? Let's face the truth.

He was given a title shot but turned it down, two Henrys the opportunity to return and make history. Now he has nowhere to run. Either you're swimming with dangerous guys, or you're going to hell from the pool. I guarantee you that I will break this guy in half, as I did with Sandhagen, ”Sterling said at a press conference.

On the night of May 7 at UFC 288, Sterling defended his title for the third time, defeating Henry Cejudo via split decision.
