Aljamain Sterling reacts to win vs. Cejudo, UFC 288 recap w/ guest co-host Ray Longo

Jim Norton takes part in the Serra-Longo Fight Team’s victory Monday as today’s episode of UFC Unfiltered calls upon bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling for nearly 20 minutes alongside Matt Serra and guest co-host Ray Longo.

 

As the guys dive straight into Sterling’s UFC 288 win over former bantamweight king Henry Cejudo, the Jamaican-American discusses the mid-fight adjustments that were necessary to stave off the former Olympic gold medalist’s valiant effort during last Saturday night’s PPV headliner in New Jersey.

 

Sterling then dishes his thoughts on Suga Sean O’Malley hopping into the cage immediately after his win as Ray Longo cracks up thinking about how Aljo’s good friend and sparring partner Merab Dvalishvili stole the show by climbing up the cage wearing O’Malley’s bright red jacket.

 

Speaking of the Serra-Longo Fight Team, Matt and Ray sing lightweight Matt Frevola’s praises after the “Steamrolla” successfully detonated his third straight 1st-round KO with a beautifully-placed punch that earned him a $50,000 post-fight bonus and a callout acceptance from Paddy “The Baddy” Pimblett.

 

The guys wrap up the show with the rest of their thoughts on the UFC 288 card and some analysis on how Henry Cejudo stacks up in a potential fight with Merab Dvalishvili.
