Aljamain Sterling comes from a very big family that consists of twelve half-siblings and seven full siblings. However, when it comes to having children of his own, he hasn’t quite made that decision. As such, he and his fiancee, Rebecca Cruz, don’t have any children yet.

Now that we’ve established Aljamain Sterling’s personal life, there is one more interesting incident that took place between him, his wife, and boxing icon Floyd Mayweather, which is something that ‘Funk Master’ mentioned in the past.

What happened between Sterling’s girlfriend and Floyd Mayweather?

Just like any other couple, Aljamain Sterling and Rebecca Cruz decided to enjoy time together at a nightclub, but where exactly the club is located, isn’t clear. Interestingly, 50-0 legend Floyd Mayweather was also there in the building, whose attention was drawn by the UFC star and his partner. As per Sterling’s statements, ‘Money’ sent a couple of his men there, presumably part of his entourage or the security team, claiming that they had some nefarious intentions as they asked for his partner.

“He sent over his minions to try to pick her up… So he sent over a girl… no he sent over a guy first. Told us we can both come down (to his party),” Aljamain Sterling revealed during a podcast appearance. “I am like ‘man I ain’t stupid like that’. If I come over there, you guys are gonna try to take her up and try to push me back. And I am going to feel some type of way and then, like ‘nah now I gotta create a scene’. You are not going to punk me like that.”

Mayweather’s intentions irritated Aljamain Sterling, who was ready to take the whole confrontation with the boxing legend to the streets if he needed to. Thankfully, nothing happened. This incident happened back when ‘Funk Master’ was just a couple of years into his UFC run. Do you think he would have gotten the better of Mayweather if things had gone to the street?
