Talking about the upcoming match between Sean O’Malley and Aljamain Sterling, the UFC president went off on Sterling and his deliberation. “Do you want me to tell you what’s going on in the mind of fu**ing Aljo? stated White, irritably. Then, he opened the forum to one and all to guess the right answer to his question. “Three guesses who called me today and said ‘Aljo sounds like he doesn’t really want to fight? Three guesses! 100 bucks right now for whoever can guess it.” “Henry“, a reporter exclaimed, referencing Triple C, Henry Cejudo and Dana White handed him a $100 bill, on the spot. “Henry Cejudo calls me and says “This little pu**y doesn’t want to fight. I’ll take the fight. I’m throwing my hat right now. Let’s do it. I’ll fight O’Malley.”, said Dana White.
