Aljamain Sterling, the former bantamweight champion, has taken aim at his rival Sean O’Malley, accusing him of being selective in his fights and avoiding a potential matchup with Merab Dvalishvili.
After his recent successful move to the featherweight division with a win against Calvin Kattar at UFC 300, Sterling, who had previously lost to O’Malley, raised concerns about O’Malley’s reluctance to face Dvalishvili, a friend of Sterling.
Sterling didn’t hold back, challenging O’Malley to face tougher opponents and earn the title of a true champion, suggesting O’Malley has been opting for easier fights. He emphasized the importance of taking on top contenders rather than avoiding them.
