Aljamain Sterling Wants To Humble TJ Dillashaw At UFC 280: “I Can’t Wait To Bring Him A Little Bit Of Humble Pie”
UFC bantamweight champion, Aljamain Sterling, wants to humble former bantamweight champion, TJ Dillashaw, in their showdown this weekend.
Sterling spoke with reporters during Wednesday’s media day for Saturday’s UFC 280 event in Abu Dhabi ahead of his clash with Dillashaw and explained why he disagrees with the 36-year-old Sonora, California native’s claims that he is the best bantamweight fighter of all time.
“For him to go out and say he’s the greatest bantamweight of all time right now just shows his arrogance which is exactly what I talk about,” Sterling said (h/t MMA Junkie). “And I can’t wait to just bring him a little bit of humble pie. He’s definitely one of the best, I think it’s crazy for him to say that he’s the best. Based on what? I mean you got Dominick Cruz who still has the most wins based on his WEC title wins and his UFC wins as well. I know it was a different era and a different time, but he’s still up there.”
