Recent reports indicate that a fight between Aljamain Sterling and Henry Cejudo may take place as soon as UFC 287 in April, suggesting that the UFC is eager to set up a clash. The pair haven't held back in their relentless mockery of one another in any given instance.
Cejudo recently put on his analytical hat and took a deep dive into what UFC star Conor McGregor must do in order to make a successful comeback and become a contender once more. To everyone's surprise, Sterling was impressed by Cejudo's insights and left a friendly comment under his Instagram post.
Aljamain Sterling wrote in the comments section of the post:
"This was actually solid haha."
Cejudo, however, saw it as another opportunity to treat Sterling's comments with contempt. Cejudo claimed that he cannot wait to decipher 'Funk Master', who is renowned for his exceptional grappling skills:
"@funkmastermma you my biggest fan and I know you know my IQ is off the wall. Can’t wait to unpack the bag pack."
