Aljamain Sterling gains 41 pounds in just one week! Previously at UFC 273, Sterling beat Petr Yan via the decision to retain the UFC Bantamweight title. Since then, it seems like the champ has let go of his training regime and is currently enjoying life a little too much.
I feel fat and gross. My cheeks are so big. I don’t recognize myself. Diet starts tmw. 😩🍕

Sterling posted a video on Twitter stating his weight gain is “sick”. Sterling is usually known for his humorous antics. The current Bantamweight champion has been ridiculed by the majority of the MMA fandom for the last year or so since his first title win at UFC 259 came under unforeseen and hilarious circumstances. This was the first-ever disqualification title change in UFC history.
Sterling has since gone on and defended his belt from Petr Yan in a re-match, earning a decision victory. Sterling’s current weight puts him far away from Bantamweight limits and places him funnily above Welterweight! But before his potential next fight with TJ Dillashaw, Sterling will surely be back rocking the chiseled physique seen during his last fight week.
