Aljamain Sterling has denied he was echoing Andrew Tate's controversial statements after meeting the ex-kickboxer in Dubai.
Controversial former kickboxer Tate has built up notoriety for his contentious views which have been going viral online. He was recently banned on social media having faced scrutiny from campaign groups who were concerned by his views including a suggestion that women "bear some responsibility" for sexual assault which saw him banned on Twitter.
UFC champion Sterling, who will fight at UFC 280 against Petr Yan in Abu Dhabi this weekend, posted images of himself on Twitter and Instagram with the caption: "Top G’s never die! Good chopping it up with you fellas." Sterling's fans quickly became concerned by his new alliance with Tate and came out in their droves to criticise his actions.
