“He’s Undefeated in Boxing & I’m Undefeated in MMA” – Floyd Mayweather Threatened for Trying to Steal UFC Champion’s Girlfriend

Undisputed UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling recalled a time when one of the greatest boxers of all time Floyd Mayweather allegedly tried to hit on his fiance, Rebbeca Cruz.

‘Funk Master’ is in the headlines after he successfully defended his bantamweight gold against the former champion Petr Yan at UFC 273. Recently, he appeared on the latest episode of the Spinning Backfist podcast where he discussed the incident.

Sterling revealed that he was with his fiance, Rebbeca Cruz, enjoying a pool party at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas in 2016. Apparently, the undefeated boxer Mayweather was also present at the party.

Both Sterling and Mayweather were undefeated in their respective careers at that time. During the party, ‘Money’ made a move and invited the couple to join him by sending his boys.

Sterling said, “He sent over his minions to pick her up. This is back like in 2016, I think… I was still undefeated at the time. So he sent over a girl. No, I think he sent over a guy first. Told us like, ‘Yeah we both come down.’ Man, I’m ain’t stupid like that.”

“Like we come over, you guys will try to take her off and try to push me back. And then I’m gonna feel like ‘Nah, I’ve gotta create a scene’ cause you ain’t gonna punk me like that.” Sterling added.

“No, really, he said you guys both can come down.’ And I was like, ‘listen, I know how this scene, this movie goes. You can tell Floyd he’s undefeated in boxing and I’m undefeated in MMA. If he wants to figure out what’s the better sport, we can find out today.'” Sterling concluded. 

What is next for Aljamain Sterling after his win at UFC 273

Previously, Aljamain Sterling took the bantamweight title from the then champion Petr Yan at UFC 259. The latter was dominating the fight. However, he landed a knee on Sterling’s head when he was down.

Apparently, this is an illegal move in the UFC. Hence, Yan lost the fight and also his bantamweight gold. However, many fans were not happy with the results and some slammed ‘Funk Master’ for the DQ win.

Hence, for a clear result, both the fighters were set for a rematch at UFC 273, where Sterling shut his naysayers by securing a dominant win over the Russian former champion.

‘Funk Master’ later called out the number two ranked bantamweight fighter TJ Dillashaw in his octagon interview. Dillashaw made a comeback in 2021 after a long hiatus. He recently won against a fighter ranked amongst the top-5 in the division. Hence, this might be a viable fight to make in the bantamweight division.
