It seems that Henry Cejudo was waiting for the conclusion of Sean O’Malley versus Aljamain Sterling. Now, after UFC 292, the bantamweight division has a new champion, and that’s none other than Sean O’Malley. Considering Sterling’s remarkable past victories, many believed that he would defend his title for the fourth time. However, things took an unexpected turn for him when ‘Suga’ made an unpredictable move. Within 51 seconds into the second round, O’Malley defeated Sterling through a technical knockout.

In the second round, Sterling tried to be the aggressor and went for O’Malley’s face with a left-handed hook. However, ‘Suga’ stepped back, avoided that, and came back with a stunning counter right-hand hook, which floored Sterling. Once he had his opponent on the floor, O’Malley continued to pepper Sterling’s face with strikes. That was when the referee intervened, and the fight ended. With his victory against ‘Funk Master, ‘ O’Malley has proved that he is one of the best fighters in the UFC. Soon after his victory, former UFC double champion Henry Cejudo made his intentions clear. Let’s dive deeper to find out what Cejudo is planning for the future.

Henry Cejudo makes his intentions clear

Henry Cejudo didn’t take much time to call out O’Malley and demand a title shot from Dana White. The Olympic gold medalist took to X and wrote, “Congratulations pu*sy  @SugaSeanMMA how can you say you are the best in the world, When you are not even the best in our city. @danawhite can’t give him Chito because he sucks and if you give him Merat he’s only going to wrestle. Let’s run it in PHX.” 

‘The Messenger’ made it clear that he wants to fight against O’Malley next. Cejudo believes that UFC bantamweight Marlon Vera is not the right choice for O’Malley next as he is not a good fighter. Furthermore, he claimed that the UFC boss, Dana White, can’t arrange for a fight between him and Aljmain Sterling’s teammate, Merab Dvalishvili because the bout would be boring as he can only wrestle. Cejudo directly tried to declare that he is the best option left for White.
