With UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling still not ready to fight, Sean O'Malley wants an interim title shot.
Sterling (22-3 MMA, 14-3 UFC) currently is healing from a bicep injury and doesn’t want to risk rushing for his likely title defense against former two-division champ Henry Cejudo. Sterling even recently said on The MMA Hour he wouldn’t be mad if the UFC opted to book Cejudo against O’Malley for an interim belt.
