Aljamain Sterling reacts to being the only UFC 300 winner to not get an Octagon interview: ‘It definitely sucked!’

Aljamain Sterling ‘sad’ being passed up for UFC 300 cage interview

In a recent appearance on The MMA Hour, Sterling reacted to not having a moment on the mic at UFC 300.

“I don’t want to say I was upset, but when I thought about it, it definitely sucked a little bit!” Sterling said. “Former champion, defended the belt three times, no interview, it’s kinda sad…

“Kayla [Harrison] got a finish, so I would’ve thought they had enough time…but maybe it was a timing thing.”

As of this writing, the UFC hasn’t addressed why Sterling wasn’t given a post-fight interview at UFC 300. Although, it was likely due to time constraints.

Despite being spurned of a post-fight promo moment, Sterling is in the mix in the featherweight title picture. He called out Brian Ortega after defeating Kattar, which would be an intriguing matchup between two elite grapplers.

After the loss to O’Malley, Sterling passed up on waiting for a potential rematch in favor of a featherweight move. He could potentially be one or two wins away from a featherweight title shot.

Sterling feels right at home at featherweight, but he wishes he would’ve gotten more post-fight shine at UFC 300. He has the opportunity to continue to silence his detractors in his next fight later this year.
