NEWARK, N.J. – A matchup with Sean O'Malley is not something that makes UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling feel threatened. In fact, quite the opposite.
Sterling (23-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC), who defended his belt for a third time Saturday in the main event of UFC 288 against Henry Cejudo, thinks his next challenger should be a much more manageable task.
“My thoughts on Sean O’Malley is that motherf*cker is frail,” Sterling told reporters at the UFC 288 post-fight news conference. “You think if I can take down a short stocky guy like Henry, who’s actually a gold medalist ( in Olympic wrestling) and actually has good takedown defense, what am I going to do to Sean O’Malley? Let’s be honest here, guys.
