UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling reacted to Sean O'Malley's earlier comments that the champion tried to avoid fighting him.
Suga Shane fought one top 5 guy who whooped his ass, but was handed a decision, took 11 months to prepare for me, and then tells me I’m not fighting enough. I fought three times in 13 months. You fought I think once. Wow, that’s impressive, bro. I want to be just like you when I grow up. High all the time, talk like this and beat all these guys in the top 5. Isn’t Sean awesome?
