Former two-weight UFC champion Henry Cejudo has taken a shot at Merab Dvalishvili over the number one contender spot at bantamweight. The future of the UFC bantamweight championship is somewhat unclear. While we know that Sean O’Malley is the champion after his TKO win over Aljamain Sterling, nobody knows who his next challenger will be. Some want it to be Sterling again in a rematch, others have suggested Merab Dvalishvili, and O’Malley himself has requested former foe Marlon Vera.

UFC star Henry Cejudo believes that Sean O’Malley is going to struggle in a potential rematch against Marlon Vera. Earlier this month, Sean O’Malley defeated Aljamain Sterling to become the new UFC bantamweight champion. In doing so, he cemented his status as one of the biggest names in mixed martial arts – and combat sports as a whole. However, as is the nature of MMA, there are already plenty of people looking ahead to what’s next.

In the main event of UFC 292, Aljamain Sterling was defending his bantamweight title against Sean O’Malley, in ‘Suga’s’ first pay-per-view headliner. O’Malley is a massive star on social media, but many were curious to see if that would translate to pay-per-view buys, which is important for the UFC.
