Henry Cejudo has admitted he was left angered by his awkward hotel face-off with Aljamain Sterling as the pair arrived at their Newark fight hotel this week.
The legendary former two-weight champion returns in an effort to reclaim his bantamweight title after three years of retirement this weekend, facing off with current title holder Sterling. The pair don't share a particularly heated rivalry, but they had gone back-and-forth in a virtual face-to-face ahead of their first meeting as opponents in New Jersey, which was a much friendlier affair.
Sterling and Cejudo were in the lobby of their hotel in New Jersey on Tuesday when the pair ran into one another, with the former champion claiming that his rival was attempting to "butter him up". They shook hands for an awkwardly long period of time, exchanging pleasantries about fight camp.
