Aljamain Sterling says Henry Cejudo vs. Jose Aldo is the fight that no one asked for and that nobody wanted to see. As the No. 2-ranked bantamweight in the world, Aljamain Sterling is rightfully frustrated with the UFC after the premiere fight promotion is poised to announce a bantamweight title fight between Henry Cejudo and Jose Aldo at UFC 250.

Aldo, the former UFC featherweight champion, is coming off two straight losses and most recently dropped a split decision to Marlon Moraes in his bantamweight debut at UFC 245.

Although many pundits feel Scarface should have been awarded the win at UFC 245, Sterling can t understand how the Brazilian has leapfrogged him for a title shot and says no one wants to see Aldo headline UFC 250 opposite Cejudo.
