Aljamain Sterling says Henry Cejudo vs. Jose Aldo is “the fight that no one asked for and that nobody wanted to see.”
As the No. 2-ranked bantamweight in the world, Aljamain Sterling is [rightfully] frustrated with the UFC after the premiere fight promotion is poised to announce a bantamweight title fight between Henry Cejudo and Jose Aldo at UFC 250.
Aldo, the former UFC featherweight champion, is coming off two straight losses and most recently dropped a split decision to Marlon Moraes in his bantamweight debut at UFC 245.
Although many pundits feel ‘Scarface’ should have been awarded the win at UFC 245, Sterling can’t understand how the Brazilian has leapfrogged him for a title shot and says no one wants to see Aldo headline UFC 250 opposite Cejudo.

“The fight that no one asked for and that nobody wanted to see!#MakeRankingsGreatAgain,” Sterling posted on Twitter yesterday.
Sterling, 30, is currently riding a four-fight win streak over Brett Johns, Cody Stamann, Jimmie Rivera and Pedro Munhoz.
UFC 250, which is expected to feature Cejudo vs. Aldo as the main event, is scheduled to take place on May 9 at Ginásio do Ibirapuera in São Paulo, Brazil.
