UFC President Dana White has commented on a statement by reigning UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling that his fight against Sean O’Malley, announced as the main event of UFC 292, may not take place.
“Henry Cejudo called me and said, ‘This coward doesn’t want to fight – I’ll take the fight. Organize me a fight with O’Malley, let’s do it! ‘, – said the head of the organization at a press conference in Las Vegas. “After that, Hunter Campbell, my neighbor, came to my house asking, ‘What’s going on?’ Why did he say so? Who knows… Aljo seems to be one of those people who can’t help but put a spoke in their wheels. The fight is strong, it will take place – that’s absolutely for sure “
Two days earlier, Aljamain Sterling said he was still injured from his fight with Henry Cejudo, and would not be able to recover in three months and prepare for his title defense against Sean O’Malley.
Recall that UFC 292 will take place on August 19 at the TD Garden in Boston.
