UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling is feeling "sick and gross" after piling on 40lb within ten days of his UFC 273 weigh-in.
Sterling defended his title against Petr Yan on Saturday April 9, 24 hours after weighing in under the division's 135lb limit at 134.5lb. But in a social media post to his Instagram followers yesterday, he showed that he is now tipping the scales at a massive 176lb, just nine days after making weight.
The massive weight gain likely would have begun on the day of the weigh-in, when Sterling rehydrated and got up to a larger fight weight, but he has also said that he feels like a "bacon" after seeing the "ridiculous" number on the scales last night.
