Henry Cejudo and Aljamain Sterling began feuding extensively a couple of months ago
At UFC 259, Aljamain Sterling became the first UFC fighter to win a title fight via. disqualification. Petr Yan, the then bantamweight champion’s illegal knee on a grounded Sterling, cost the Russian his title.
What followed was Sterling acting (or was he serious?) completely concussed for an extended period of time. On getting back up, Sterling claimed that he wasn’t happy to get the title in such a fashion, but was later seen celebrating with the title that very night.
A legion of MMA fighters mocked Sterling for being fake, calling him an actor. One among those was former UFC two-division champion Henry Cejudo. And Cejudo is still going after Sterling.
More recently, Cejudo posted a video of recent internet sensation Hasbulla Magomedov, where ‘Mini Khabib’ can be seen asking his manager to set him up for a high-profile fight, following Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather.
Cejudo captioned the post, taking a dig at Sterling:
“I must admit @hasbulla.magomedov is a good actor. All those lessons with @funkmastermma are paying off.”
Time and again, Cejudo brings up Sterling’s “acting skills”.
Aljamain Sterling fires back at Henry Cejudo
Cejudo trolling and Sterling replying has become a regular happening. Following ‘Triple C’s tweet, ‘The Funk Master’ decided to fire back at Cejudo.
Sterling mocked Cejudo for his height and appearance:
“Don鈥檛 try talking your way out the fight with Hasbulla now. Finally someone your own size to pick on and you鈥檙e running already, just like your retirement!”
Sterling is currently looking forward to a rematch against Petr Yan. He will have to defend his belt, which he got in a freak manner, against the Russian. The date or event for the fight hasn’t been announced yet.
