Bantamweight contender Aljamain Sterling has recalled being knocked out by Zabit Magomedsharipov while sparring back in 2017. Sterling is due to face Cory Sandhagen this weekend in a fight that will likely decide the next contender at 135lbs.
Speaking to The Score Sterling revisited a sparring session he had with Magomedsharipov who at the time was an unknown prospect, today he is one of the best fighters in the weight division above Sterling, who said.
“I had one bad knockout in training, that was with Zabit. “That was after I lost to [Raphael] Assuncao, back in February 2017. Dude, I didn’t know who the f*ck he was! I didn’t know how big he was. Mark Henry was telling me how light he was, ‘he’s only about 170.’ Okay, I’m about 162, I can go with him today, I was on the lighter side.”
“I never knew who he was; the guy is a f*cking ninja,” Sterling said. “He comes out throwing all these side kicks, these hook kicks, then the second round he throws a 360 round kick. I closed my eyes and ducked my head, and he kicks me, wraps around the back of my head. I didn’t go out, but I was definitely f*cked up. I didn’t see the kicking coming, and it landed flush on the back of my neck. I’ve got it on video, it’s pretty nasty. Hopefully, Mark Henry leaves that in the archives.” (Transcribed by BJPenn.com)
Sterling has been on something of a tear lately winning four straight fights. ‘The Funk Master’ beat Pedro Munhoz to establish himself as one of the top contenders last time out but was somehow overlooked for a title shot when the belt became vacant due to Henry Cejudo retiring from the sport.
Magomedsharipov is starting to look like the next featherweight champion. In his past two fights, he’s stepped up his level of competition beating Jeremy Stephens and Calvin Kattar over three rounds. He is yet to fight in 2020 but has been linked to a bout with former title challenger Brian ‘T-City’ Ortega.

Sterling recently claimed he was confident in his chances of fighting for the bantamweight title next assuming Henry Cejudo was serious about his retirement.

Sterling also posted a photo on Twitter stating that he’s signed a contract for UFC 250.
“Funk Bandits, it’s official! My contract is signed! Quarantine beard and mustache are in prime form! Let’s get FUNKY!”
Sterling was originally set to face Sandhagen at UFC San Diego this month anyway until the COVID-19 pandemic suspended the event.
“Funkmaster” is currently on a four-fight winning streak with his most recent victory coming over Pedro Munhoz.
Sandhagen, meanwhile, is undefeated in the UFC with a 5-0 record that includes notable victories over John Lineker and Raphael Assuncao. The winner of the fight could stake a claim at the bantamweight title next.
UFC 250 is slated to take place at the Apex facility in Las Vegas. It will be headlined by a women’s featherweight title fight between Amanda Nunes and Felicia Spencer.
