Aljamain Sterling shut his critics and several MMA fans up after he took home the Bantamweight belt after his decision victory against Petr Yan. It’s a known fact that almost every fighter goes through a process of weight cutting before their fight. Aljamain had to cut his weight down to 135 lbs in order to take on Petr in the main event of UFC 274. 

In a video posted by Sterling, he claims he was feeling gross after weighing over 170 lbs which happens to be the welterweight limit. He wrote “I feel fat and gross. My cheeks are so big. I don’t recognize myself. Diet starts tomorrow.” Aljamain will now be preparing for the second title defense. Preferably he admitted he wants TJ Dillashaw next in an interview given to MMAFightingonSBN. It’ll be interesting to see how TJ deals with the grappling heavy style of Aljamain if this fight happens in the future.
