Aljamain Sterling is the UFC bantamweight champion.
Don’t like it?
“Screw you guys, go fuck yourself.”
That was the message from Sterling, who told The MMA Hour he’s fed up with all the shit fans have been giving him on social media after photos surfaced of “Funk Master” brandishing his 135-pound strap.
“To see the picture and think I was parading around with the belt, which is not what I was doing,” Sterling explained. “I only started doing that when people started giving me shit for my friends and family telling me to take a picture them and because they posted it, I never posted it, I became the bad guy.”
Sterling was awarded the bantamweight title after Petr Yan landed an illegal knee at UFC 259 back in March. “No Mercy” promptly owned up to the mistake — only to later shift gears and trash “Funk Master” for the fourth-round finish.
“At that point, I was like so I’m going to keep explaining myself for people to keep ignoring what I’m saying,” Sterling said. “So I was like you know what? I’m going to take pictures with the belt, here you go. I am the champ cause guess what? I am the champ! If you have a competition and you abide by the rules, the playoffs, NFL, overtime, and you commit a foul and an illegal move, you get penalized. If people say you shouldn’t be able to win the belt, you shouldn’t be able to win a fight because a fight is still a fight whether it’s a championship setting or it’s not.”
Sterling (20-3) will have the opportunity to silence the critics once and for all in the UFC 267 pay-per-view (PPV) co-main event on Oct. 30 in Abu Dhabi, where “Funk Master” and Yan will get another five rounds to settle their bantamweight score.

Ariel Helwani has hit back against the “1000% false” remarks made by former UFC fighter turner podcaster Brendan Schaub and his friend, podcasting/stand-up extraordinaire Joe Rogan.

Ariel Helwani has hit back against the “1000% false” remarks made by former UFC fighter turner podcaster Brendan Schaub and his friend, podcasting/stand-up extraordinaire Joe Rogan.
In a segment on his Bellow the Belt podcast, Schaub regurgitated the rumour regarding Helwani’s UFC media ban in 2016, citing his mishandling of top-secret information regarding Brock Lesnar’s return, in the run-up to UFC 200. The information was thought to have been leaked to Helwani confidentially prior to him making the story public.
Speaking to UFC Bantamweight Champion Aljamain Sterling on his The MMA Hour podcast, Helwani fired back at Rogan and Schaub for their continued falsehoods surrounding the incident:
“What Joe Rogan had spewed is 1000% false. What Brendan Schaub has then paraded is 1000% false. Joe Rogan source is Dana White, Brendan sources Joe Rogan. I think you know me long enough… if someone tells me something off the record, and I am sure you have told me things off the record, if I go out and report it, I should be done. There is no way I would practice that kind of journalism and still be here thirteen years later. If you tell me something in confidence and I report it, I should never be talking to you again. I should be outlawed. I should be banned from covering the sport – any promotion.”
What are Brendan Schaub and Joe Rogan’s accusations?
Following Helwani’s ban, Rogan aired much of the whispers regarding the ousting on The Joe Rogan Experience, calling to attention how the UFC had suspected a mole was leaking classified information to Helwani for some time, damaging the promotion in the process.
See the full remarks made by Rogan below:
Moreover, in recent weeks, Schaub would add fuel to the fire of the spat, claiming on The Dan LeBatard Show that he had heard from “a million people” that Helwani is incredibly difficult to work with.
Yet again, Helwani was in no position to roll over when confronted with harmful gossip. While admitting that Schaub had later messaged privately to apologize for the comments, the 39-year-old Helwani again took to The MMA Hour to call for a public apology:

UFC president, Dana White has claimed that recent color-commentary debutante, Laura Sanko is “the Ronda Rousey of commentators” following the Kansas City native’s commentary debut earlier this week on Dana White’s Contender Series.

UFC president, Dana White has claimed that recent color-commentary debutante, Laura Sanko is “the Ronda Rousey of commentators” following the Kansas City native’s commentary debut earlier this week on Dana White’s Contender Series.
Sanko, a former professional mixed martial artist, competed just once in her career — scoring a second round rear-naked choke victory over Cassie Robb under the Invicta FC banner back in January 2013.
Making history on Tuesday night, Sanko became the first female to enter the commentary booth of the Zuffa era, as well as the first female to serve as a color-commentator since Kathy Long called UFC 1 back in November 1993.
Reacting to Sanko’s performance following the event, White explained that Sanko appeared quite “frazzled” with the workload on Tuesday night at the UFC Apex facility, but done a great job in her new position nevertheless.
“She (Laura Sanko) was running around like a lunatic tonight,” White laughed. “When I walked in there she seemed a little frazzled, and I said, ‘Hey, kid — be careful what you wish for, kid, be careful what you wish for.’“
“Congratulations to her, she’s earned it, she deserves it, she belongs there,” White explained. “And she’s as educated and as good at talking about fights as anybody else in the game, so I think tonight was the beginning of a great career for her.“
Speaking with Yahoo! Sports following the event, Sanko detailed how the position came to fruition, with a text from White before she landed in ‘Sin City’ earlier this week.
“I was about 20 minutes from landing and Dana’s (White) text said, ‘Come see me in my office when you get to Las Vegas,” Laura Sanko said. “There’s never any context when you get a text. There are no emotions behind it. So I was wondering what was up. I said to myself, ‘Well, you’re either fired or something good might be happening,’ I had no way of knowing.“
Sanko explained that when she arrived at UFC Headquarters in Las Vegas, White had offered her the commentary role, but explained that if she wouldn’t be ready to take the position, he would delay the role until Week 2 of the Contender Series, however, Sanko said she could not turn the opportunity down; “There was no way I was saying no,” Sanko said.
White explained that he plans for Sanko to continue as color-commentator for the 10-week period that the Contender Series season runs, and after that, she will feature in the commentary booth for Fight Night billed events as well as UFC pay-per-view events.
“There was never even a question in my mind [that she’d do well], which is why I put here in there,” White told. “One hundred percent, she is the Ronda Rousey of commentators. She knows her sh*t and she’s smart and has everything you want to see. I didn’t want to take her off the interviews because she’s fantastic at that, and that’s not easy to do, but I felt she was ready for this (commentary). We all met Friday and all of us felt the same way, that it was time.“
