Aljamain Sterling has denied Henry Cejudo and his manager Ali Abdelaziz's assertion that a bantamweight title fight between the pair next year is a "done deal".
The legendary former two-weight world champion is returning to the octagon next year, and went head-to-head with current bantamweight champion Sterling at the PFL finals in New York last weekend. But the pair have conflicting views about just how far along that fight is behind-the-scenes, each giving Mirror Fighting a different account.
Cejudo insisted, after his manager Ali Abdelaziz had told MMA Underground earlier that week, that the deal is done for a fight between the pair. But when asked if that claim was true, Sterling responded: "No, the deal is not done because I haven't signed s***. So he can say whatever he wants, until then it's all talk. In this game, money talks, baby and bulls*** walks, holla at your boy, we here for the money, cash money, talk to me, baby!"
