– The fight turned out to be very tactically verified. Chess in a cage. Cejudo is beautiful, it is clear that he is a very high level athlete, an Olympic champion. Maybe a simple effect, but there was a feeling he could add. In principle, I agree with the decision, in the rounds 3:2. I think Sean O’Malley will be next for Sterling, but Sterling will break him in the fight, Ragozin told .
For Cejudo, this is the third loss in MMA with 16 wins. Sterling has 23 wins and three losses.
