NEW YORK – The idea of fighting Henry Cejudo apparently doesn’t excite UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling.
Cejudo (16-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC) retired in May 2020 and relinquished his bantamweight title. However, the former UFC dual champion’s retirement soon could end as “Triple C” is currently eligible to return.
But Cejudo wants a direct shot at the title he never lost. The only issue is that Sterling (22-3 MMA, 14-3 UFC), who’s eyeing a mid-2023 return, is not interested.
