Count Aljamain Sterling as a person who is not happy with Urijah Faber asking for a title shot. “The California Kid” returned on Saturday at UFC Sacramento and TKO’d Ricky Simon in just 46 seconds to show he is back for real.

Following the fight, Faber called out the champion, Henry Cejudo, after the champ-champ called him out after UFC 238 and him winning the bantamweight title. The two have been going back-and-forth, and it seems like momentum is building up for the two to fight. But, top bantamweight contender, Aljamain Sterling is not happy with that.

“‘I usually don’t do this but when I do, it’s to stop the bullsh*t’”, Sterling said via his Facebook fan page. “Back to business! Your title challenger is here! Faber, great finish, but you need to at least beat someone in the Top 10. I’ll handle CeDooDoo, aka Triple Chump from here!”

Sterling is coming off of a decision win over Pedro Munhoz at UFC 238 to extend his winning streak to four. And, the win should have put him in line for a title shot. Yet, that may not be the case anymore as it appears Urijah Faber may have jumped the queue.

Currently, Cejudo is out with an injury and is reportedly out until 2020, and who he fights when he returns is unknown.

Who do you think Henry Cejudo should defend the bantamweight title against?

Urijah Faber Feels Dominick Cruz Is A Tougher Matchup Than Henry Cejudo

Despite what looks like a forthcoming title shot against Henry Cejudo, Urijah Faber still feels his old rival Dominick Cruz is a worse matchup.

Faber enjoyed a successful return from retirement when he knocked out Ricky Simon in the UFC Sacramento co-headliner this past weekend. Given his name and reputation, it’s entirely possible that Faber gets a title shot next, as both him and Cejudo have already started going back-and-forth with each other.

Cejudo used to train with Faber when he first started out in the sport and has grown leaps and bounds in recent years. He is currently the featherweight and bantamweight champion and has a claim for being the greatest combat sports athlete of all time, given his Olympic gold medal in wrestling as well.

But despite those accolades, “The California Kid” still believes Cruz, who he lost to twice via unanimous decision, is a tougher matchup, style-wise.

Cejudo, meanwhile, is a better matchup for Faber. Which is why he is excited about the prospect of testing himself against the two-weight champion:

“Dom Cruz is a very strange guy to fight,” Faber said on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show. “He’s very tough and unique. Henry Cejudo isn’t as confusing, that’s for sure. He’s very mentally tough, which is his strongest attribute in my opinion. He’s obviously a professional and has made these massive gains in his skillset and made little tweaks throughout time.

“You know, he’s a champion of champions. Henry Cejudo, gold medal, as young as he accomplished it. Then coming in and becoming a two-division champion — that is a dream scenario for me to go test myself.”

What do you make of Faber’s remarks?
