Potential rival fires shots at Henry Cejudo
Henry Cejudo recently outlined his ideal timeline and opponents that he would to fight and one of those potential rivals recently fired a shot at him.
No.2 ranked bantamweight Sean O'Malley took to Twitter and took a jibe at the former two-division UFC champion. He mentioned that Cejudo is desperate to earn money through his YouTube videos, which is why he uploads so much content and analyzes a number of fights.
He wrote:
"Henry really needs that YouTube money"
Henry really needs that YouTube money 🤣
One fan commented that 'Triple C' does a great job with his analysis and believes he could be a great addition to the UFC commentary team at some point like former bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz. 'Sugar' responded with another shot at the former Olympic gold medalist by agreeing and adding that he'd be happy to fasttrack his addition, writing:
"I can make that happen"
@Stanley239 I Can make that Happen
O'Malley is believed to be the next in-line to challenge the winner of Sterling vs. Cejudo, so it will be interesting to see how soon the promotion will look to book the fight.

"A lot of people think I'm broke, a lot of people think I'm coming back for money.
