Reigning UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling issued a warning to TJ Dillashaw after his UFC 280 opponent said that ‘Funk Master’ was “not a dangerous fighter.”
On October 22nd, Sterling will step back into the Octagon to defend his bantamweight world title for the second time following his split decision win over Petr Yan at UFC 273. He meets two-time bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw in the evening’s co-main event. Dillashaw returned to the UFC in July 2021 following a 24-month suspension by USADA after testing positive for recombinant human erythropoietin (EPO) prior to a January 2019 bout with Henry Cejudo.
Dillashaw earned a win over Cory Sandhagen in his return and as a result, will now get an opportunity to reclaim UFC gold against Sterling this Fall. While speaking with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, Dillashaw discussed Sterling’s win over Yan and let the host know that he was far from impressed.
“He won the fight,” Dillashaw told Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour. “The first one was kind of a s***** way to win the belt, and the way he kind of handled it made himself really hated. But still, I don’t feel like he gained that much more respect for the fact that he’s not a dangerous fighter.
Never one to turn the other cheek, Aljamain Sterling responded to Dillashaw’s claim that he is not a dangerous fighter during an appearance on his YouTube channel.
“He thinks it’s not going to be a dangerous fight. Meaning he thinks I’m just gonna go out there and grapple the whole time. I can ensure you T.J., that is not what I’m looking to do. 100% not. I can’t wait to drill my knuckles through your face… I think you would be ill-advised to overlook my striking. I hope that’s what you do because if you do that, it’s gonna be a bad night for Mr. Dilla-roids.”
Aljamain Sterling is currently riding a seven-fight win streak dating back to 2018 including back-to-back wins over former world champion Petr Yan. Their first meeting ended with a healthy dose of controversy as Yan landed an illegal knee in the fourth round. ‘No Mercy’ appeared to be on his way to a decision victory, but instead, he lost the bout and the title via disqualification.
‘Funk Master’ and ‘No Mercy’ ran it back at UFC 273 where Sterling narrowly escaped with his title, besting the Russian-born Yan via a split decision. Now Sterling puts his focus on defeating another former world champion in TJ Dillashaw.
“I can’t wait to be the guy that hands it to you,” Sterling said. “Hands you your a** on a platter, give you a spank on the a**, and tell you thanks for coming. You played well.”

Following recent calls for an increase in compensation he receives from the UFC, bantamweight contender, Sean O’Malley insists he is now happy with his payday from the organization – and has taken the view that he can utilize the platform he has to help ship and sell his merchandize.
O’Malley, the current #13 ranked bantamweight contender in the promotion’s official rankings, returns to the Octagon in October on the main card of UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi, UAE – tackling the #1 ranked contender, former undisputed champion, Petr Yan.
Last time out, the Montana striker opened the main card of UFC 276 during International Fight Week at the beginning of this month, fighting Pedro Munhoz to a second round official ‘No Contest’ after landing an inadvertent eye poke.
The falter snapped a run of three consecutive knockout wins for the Dana White’s Contender Series product, who had dispatched the trio of Thomas Almeida, Kris Moutinho, and Raulian Paiva in impressive fashion.
Reflecting on his recent run with the promotion, O’Malley claimed that he was happy to be in the current position he finds himself – from a financial standpoint with the organization. And has taken the approach to flog his merchandize given the popularity he has garnered during his rise.
“Yeah, I’d say I’m happy with where I’m at in the UFC – with how I’m getting paid, with how I’m being treated.” Sean O’Malley told Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour. “I’m definitely happy. It’s just really been a perspective change in looking at the UFC in more of, this is a platform for me to sell merch, to do other stuff, we’ve had this conversation before.”
“… I’m gonna take advantage of these opportunities,” Sean O’Malley explained. “I’m not getting paid more now that I’m fighting Petr (Yan). On my last contract I fought Pedro (Munhoz), and now I’m fighting Petr – I didn’t ask for more money, I’m fighting the number one guy. I’m just gonna go out there and take advantage of the opportunity and that is to fight Petr – I’m lucky to be able to be in this position. To be healthy, to be 27, going into my prime, fighting these top-level guys. And I’m just gonna take advantage of that.”
