Aljamain Sterling opens up on confronting Sean O’Malley’s fans
During a recent appearance on MMA Today, Sterling opened up on what happened in the incident mentioned above.
“When Merab went on the bus after the Friday evening face-off, we saw a whole bunch of people waving him down, so he gets off the bus to go over,” Sterling said. “Now, his minions Sch*tty and the other skinny twig were on the other side. I see these guys screaming and yelling, coming all the way back over to be a*holes. I was like, alright guys, the presser’s done, and now you’re in our personal space. I told him, ‘Dude, you’re really close now, and you’re being straight-up disrespectful. I’m right here now, so if you wanna sit behind this, you’re not very far away from me…’
“People have gotten way too comfortable with just being complete aholes and thinking that there’s nothing wrong with them being a-holes. We’re not in the arena where you can chirp and pay up money, now we’re in our personal space, we’re working and being professional with what we’re trying to do, and you’re literally walking over and being a complete prick. There’s nothing cool about that whatsoever.” (h/t MMANews)
Things will likely never be cordial between Sterling and O’Malley. After Sterling made the move to featherweight, they’ll likely never fight each other again inside the cage. Outside of it, things could continue to worsen.
