“The More You Talk the Worse It Gets” – Accusations on Dana White Triggers UFC World as Aljamain Sterling’s “Salty” Take on Sean O’Malley Gets Destroyed by Fans

UFC’s Bantamweight division took center stage in Boston last month as Aljamain Sterling and Sean O’Malley squared off. Their encounter headlined UFC 292, a mere few months after Sterling’s title defense against Henry Cejudo. Likewise, ‘The Funkmaster’s initial enthusiasm for facing ‘Sugar’ on such a rapid turnaround was less than apparent.

However, the landscape shifted when Dana White, the UFC CEO, famously threatened to introduce an interim title for August. This ultimatum seemed to be the push that compelled ‘Aljo’ to step into the octagon at UFC 292. The main event witnessed the reigning champion succumb to a second-round knockout at the hands of Sean O’Malley, an unforgettable moment likely to be etched in UFC history.

In the aftermath of Sterling’s loss, Dana White and Sean O’Malley have both argued against an immediate rematch. This stance has left Sterling with a lingering sense of bitterness. He perceives that the UFC had a strong desire for his defeat last month and that he let it happen.

Aljamain Sterling recently sat down for an interview with Ariel Helwani on the MMA Hour. During their discussion, ‘The Funkmaster’ made some rather bizarre statements in the aftermath of his title loss. He declared, “I know he[Dana White] was definitely happy. How could he not be? I mean – the golden goose[Sean O’Malley] won…”

Moreover, he alleged that he played into the ‘script’ that the UFC had planned for him. How? He stated, “I think we all knew, the writing was on the wall. And it was up to me to just stick to the script. The one mistake I knew – studying tape – I literally gave it to the guy on a silver platter. It’s like, if you come out there rushing at me, I’ll take you down.”
