Aljamain Sterling promises that he’ll be unifying the bantamweight title in early 2022, and has told “bitchass” TJ Dillashaw to wait his turn.
Sterling told Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour that Dillashaw is a cheater who deserved the grisly knee injury currently keeping Dillashaw out of the Octagon.
Aljamain Sterling Blasts “B*tchass Motherf*cker” TJ Dillashaw
““F*ck T.J. F*ck T.J. Let T.J. wait. That b*tch-ass motherf*cker can wait, just like that. The guy’s a f*cking cheater. He had a close fight. A lot of people still don’t even think he won the fight by hugging another man by the waist.
At least I actually go for submissions. I think there’s people that deserve to unify the belts that have the belts. Am I crazy? How do you not unify the belts? That makes no sense.
Let T.J. wait, and it’s not my fault he got his knee ripped off in that fight with Sandhagen. That’s on him, so it is what it is. He’s got to wait, just like everyone else has to wait their turn. He waited two years already, right? He can wait another couple months.”
Dillashaw previously opined that Sterling’s neck surgery might force the current bantamweight champ into early retirement. However, Sterling has no plans to quit anytime soon. In fact, he wants to fight again in early 2022, planning to unify the bantamweight division. Sterling even thinks the freshly crowned interim champ Petr Yan and TJ Dillashaw have dirty fighting in common.
“I don’t hate the guy. I think he’s a good competitor. I still think he’s a dirty fighter, though … just check his track record with all his other fights.
I really do look forward to the chess match. I think this is going to be a really good, close battle. And I know once I get him down, I’m not going to make the same mistake I did where I came in not eating food and coming in and taking him down and then throwing hammerfists instead of controlling position and doing what I do. I got ahead of myself.
I know what I’m going to do in this next one. I think the blueprint is there.” Sterling claims he’s almost back to normal following his neck surgery.
“If you ask me, the type of trainings and the stuff I’ve been doing to people in the room, I like where I’m at, compared to where I was before, where I was kind of struggling to get through the practice sessions.
That’s the energy shift where I think I’m back, baby.” Do you think Aljamain Sterling is right about TJ Dillashaw and Petr Yan? Let us know in the comments.
