FLORAL PARK, N.Y. – Aljamain Sterling may or may not be in training camp for a UFC title fight. It’s all perspective. But the bottom line is he’s training, and training hard.
Working three to five rounds a day with fellow bantamweight contender Merab Dvalishvili in Las Vegas, Sterling (21-3 MMA, 13-3 UFC) still made the trip across the country back home to Long Island this past weekend to enjoy UFC on ABC 3 at USB Arena.
MMA Junkie learned in mid-June bout contracts were issued with the promotion finalizing Sterling against T.J. Dillashaw. As of the time his feet touched down on home soil late Thursday, Sterling indicated pen still has not hit paper. As he mentioned on his “The Weekly Scraps Podcast,” Sterling and his management are in negotiations with the promotion pertaining to escalator pay.
