UFC champion celebrates having $1million in his bank account after latest win

UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling has revealed he has $1million in his bank account after beating TJ Dillashaw.

Sterling has made 17 appearances in the UFC since signing in 2014 and made a second successful defence of his belt at UFC 280 last weekend. He dominated Dillashaw from the opening bell and took advantage of his rival's pre-existing injury before the fight was stopped in the second round.

UFC fighter pay has been a well-documented topic for several months with the likes of Jake Paul speaking out against the promotion's system. However Sterling revealed he has bought his mum a house from his earnings and paid tribute to the promotion's president Dana White.
