I wasn't sold on Sterling as champ and I'm still not, but he is a good fighter. I don't trust Henry coming off of such a long layoff, and he hasn't exactly looked like GSP in retirement. However his coaching has been effective and Gastelum just came off a decent layoff and looked good. I'm really not confident (what else is new) but I'm leaning Sterling because of the unknowns. 3 years ago I would have taken Henry pretty confidently.

Agreed. I made a similar post to yours just a few pages back. It's strange to me to see Aljo at dog money which is where I got him.

@gliese58i  

People act like Cejudo progressed while he has been out for 3 years. It’s like saying Miocic wins Jones despite being away for 3 years now too. Age doesn’t forgive anybody look at all retired athletes coming back from retirement saying oh i just can’t live without this sport anymore like Tom Brady what happened to him after? Right he re-retired again.

Watch this Cejudo will retire after the fight Saturday night. I guarantee you.

You are going to be very disappointed my freind. Aljo is getting schooled.
