Sean O'Malley, a promising up-and-coming UFC bantamweight fighter, has sent a strong message to Aljamain Sterling, the current division champion. O'Malley has warned Sterling that he risks being stripped of his title if he continues to hold out on signing to fight former champion Henry Cejudo.
The 28-year-old mixed martial artist has taken a bold stance in the debate over the title situation in the bantamweight division.

The 135-pound contender tweeted:
"As the president of the bantamweight division I demand a contract signed by Aljo by the end of the week or I will strip him from his title and book myself a title fight."
