Henry Cejudo Wants Sean O’Malley Matchup Following UFC 288: “I’m Going To Hurt That Dude”
Former two-division UFC champion, Henry Cejudo, already has his sights set on a future matchup with top bantamweight contender, “Suga” Sean O’Malley.
Cejudo spoke with reporters at the UFC 288 media day on Wednesday in Newark, New Jersey ahead of his showdown with bantamweight champ, Aljamain Sterling, on Saturday night and discussed why after he defeats Sterling, the 2008 Olympic gold medalist wants to face O’Malley ASAP.
“Sean O’Malley, he’s that dirty Q-tip, he’s a privileged brat,” Cejudo said (h/t MMA Fighting). “I think we all know that, and I’m going to hurt him. But first things first, Aljamain is first. I know he’s confident, but I know deep down inside that he respects me a little too much. He’s going to see that competitor once the cage locks, he’s going to look into my eyes and he’s going to see what I’m made out of. Sean O’Malley is next and I like that fight. I love the fact that he’s tall, I love the fact that he’s popular, and I’m going to hurt that dude. Right away [after UFC 288], I want O’Malley. Make sure he listens to this — I want him right away. I want to take at least about a month off and then boom, UFC, set it up. Let’s set it up and let’s do it in Boston. Let’s do it in his backyard. That wannabe American. Let’s do it in Boston.”
