Aljamain Sterling is already thinking of his future after his fighting career. Sterling might have been celebrating one of the biggest achievements of his career but the bantamweight champion is aiming to be bigger than he is now.
Aljamain Sterling is coming off a win against Petr Yan at UFC 273. The bantamweight champion defended his belt and earned the respect of many MMA fans around the world. Following his win, Sterling reveals on the “My Mom’s Basement with Robbie Fox” podcast that he is planning several different business ventures, and owning his own brand of rum is one of them.
You gotta think about that stuff,” Sterling said talking about his life after fighting. “Even right now I am in the midst of building a rum company. I am hoping this could be…I don’t want to be like the McGregor or something. But it would be cool to have it.” Sterling says he will shortly reveal the name of his brand.
Aljamain also revealed that the rum brand is in the packaging stages and will very soon be out for customers to experience. “I like to drink and I want to be able to have something that I can enjoy something when it is over and it is mine. You can only fight so much in a year. This is, I guess lifetime.” Watch the full podcast below:
What is next for Aljamain Sterling?
After facing several criticisms for winning the bantamweight belt via disqualification, Sterling had to wait more than a year to prove to the entire world that he is a legitimate champion. In his recent outing against Petr Yan at UFC 273, Sterling won the fight fair and square via unanimous decision. Following his win, Sterling took the opportunity to call out a former champion, TJ Dillashaw.
Sterling now has a record of 21-3-0 in his MMA career. TJ Dillashaw has just returned from his ban and defeated Cory Sandhagen in a five-round fight in 2021. TJ is very open to fighting for the title again and confident he becomes the champ. Jose Aldo, another top contender in the bantamweight division has also called out Sterling.
A trilogy fight between Aljamain and Petr is also highly possible. What do you think should be Sterling’s next move?
