Aljamain Sterling ‘wouldn’t be mad’ if Joseph Benavidez gets the next crack at Henry Cejudo

Aljamain Sterling already understands the difficulty of one fighter holding titles in two divisions while waiting for his shot at current double-champ Henry Cejudo.

On paper, Sterling should be next in line to challenge Cejudo for the bantamweight title following his win over Pedro Munhoz at UFC 238 that improved his current winning streak to four overall.

Unfortunately, Sterling watched Joseph Benavidez likely cement his spot as the No. 1 contender in the flyweight division after he tore through Jussier Formiga in their rematch at UFC Minneapolis.
