Aljamain appreciated Sean and said that he was winning the fight against Chito until his injury. Sterling said: “Honestly, if I’m being honest, that guy’s really f******* good, I like his honesty and the way he breaks down fights and analyzes it kind of reminds me of myself except he’s a little more brash about it. He was winning that entire fight with ‘Chito’ [Vera]. He was winning 13 minutes of the fight until he got caught with the front kick.’ Very accurate. Chito was losing that fight.”
Despite his amazing skills and performance in the UFC, Aljamain believes he can win against Sean and can submit him. He said: “I feel like if I grab that guy and put a body lock on that guy, I’d probably break his ribs and get a submission with a standing body lock.”
