Henry Cejudo shades Merab Dvilashvili after Yann’s win: ‘Easy money’
Henry Cejudo is set to face Aljamene Sterling in May, but it appears he is already planning for his potential first title defense if Sterling gets through.

But the former champion and Olympic medalist was not impressed with Dvalishvili’s performance.
“These guys are the same fighter all the time. Alzman, he just flows with his fight, he’s a freestyler. This guy (Dvalishvili), you know he’s going to press, you know he’s going to shoot. gonna do it all for. That’s why a guy like Merab can make easy money. I’ll hurt that dude. I’ll let him in on his feet, let him carry my weight, and then take him down ,” Cejudo said of her Youtube channel.
Cejudo also gave an insight into how he thinks his fight with Sterling will play out.
“For my fight with Sterling, I think he is going to fight the way he fought Pedro Munhoz. I’m looking forward to it,” Cejudo said. “Real high speed, real volume, a lot of speed, a lot of background material, but he can also come in and just wing it.”
