UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling or “AljoComain” as Sean O’Malley likes to name him — presumably as a result of “Funk Grasp” is at all times taking part in second fiddle to a extra necessary title struggle — continues to be recovering from a torn bicep and unlikely to satisfy his personal deadline for the oft-teased Henry Cejudo title protection in March.
That is why “Sugar” is asking for an interim Q-Tip title struggle.
“Is AljoComain combating Henry or not, I’m confused,” O’Malley wrote on Twitter. “He stated his bicep is torn. If that’s the case let me beat up Henry.”
This bout was already cleared by the Suga State Athletic Fee.
O’Malley soared to the highest of the bantamweight rankings by upsetting former champion Petr Yan at UFC 280 again in October, a efficiency that will (or might not) have been adequate to land a 135-pound title shot.
If not, then it is perhaps time for this fellow contender to get the decision.
