Henry Cejudo certainly has some thinking to do right now.
The UFC flyweight champion was expected to jump up and challenge TJ Dillashaw for the 135-pound championship. However, due to Dillashaw’s recent issues with the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), the weight jump has lost a bit of its luster.
Instead, Cejudo has the choice of, perhaps, competing for the vacant 135-pound belt, or defending his flyweight title. UFC bantamweight Aljamin Sterling believes “The Messenger” is better off staying at 125, unless he wants to get “smacked up” by the UFC’s bantamweights (via MMA Fighting):
“I look at Cejudo, he’s trying to swim with the big boys,” Sterling said. “He beat a depleted T.J. Dillashaw. Everyone advised T.J. not to cut that extra 10 pounds. If you look at him during that fight week, there was a picture where he had a whole table filled with, like, 20 bottles of supplements and pills.
“God knows what was in those pills and that was supposedly the way for him to get down safely to 125. I tell you, I cut down to 135, people think I’m huge for the weight, and I don’t take none of that shit. So he’s pumping himself up over beating a 125 T.J. Dillashaw.
“It’s not the same fighter. If he wants to come up and get smacked up by a couple of real big boys and swim with the sharks, he’s gonna want to go back running down to 125 real soon. … Let Cejudo come up. His wrestling’s only going to take him so far before the body weight and everything starts to play a factor.
“Honestly, I would like to be the guy to welcome him to this division. Welcome to 135, champ.”
Cejudo became the first man to defeat Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson at flyweight last summer. He followed that up with a huge title defense against TJ Dillashaw in January. Cejudo actually finished Dillashaw in the first round via TKO. Although the finish was a controversial one, it was still an impressive showing from Cejudo nonetheless.
Now, it remains to be seen what Cejudo decides to do next in his mixed martial arts (MMA) career. If he does decide to jump up to bantamweight, however, it makes for some very interesting match-ups.

Marlon Moraes has been called out by one rising contender in the UFC bantamweight division. That star is Aljamain Sterling, who actually has a history with the former WSOF bantamweight champion.
Back at the UFC Fight Night: Swanson vs. Ortega event on December 9, 2017, at Save Mart Center in Fresno, California, Sterling was supposed to fight Rani Yahya. However, Yahya was forced to pull out from the card due to injury and was replaced by Moraes, who beat Sterling by first round KO.
Sterling explained his position on why he wants this fight with Moraes during a recent interview with MMAJunkie. Not only due to their history but he believes the fight makes sense due to the rankings.
“It was a complete rookie mistake on my end,” Sterling said. “I don’t want to say it’s luck, but that wasn’t his intent was. I just happened to be doing something that was the worst thing I could possibly do in that moment in that exchange.
“He got his hand raised that night, but come this rematch, I truly believe I can stand with anyone in the world, and when the tough gets going, if I need to get the fight to the ground, I can always lean on my wrestling and my cardio and jiu-jitsu. Snatching necks and cashing checks.”
With the news of TJ Dillashaw failing a USADA drug test and voluntarily relinquishing the UFC bantamweight title, contenders are making their case known. Both Sterling and Moraes have been calling for a fight for the vacant UFC bantamweight title.
“I’m definitely throwing my hat in the mix,” he said. “This has been a long journey. This has been the culmination of everything I’ve worked so hard for. I’m back at the top, and I’m ready to keep climbing those ranks to get that UFC gold.”
