#2 Aljamain Sterling explains UFC 306 confrontation with Sean O'Malley's "minions"
Aljamain Sterling has provided some context to the heated confrontation he was caught having with Sean O'Malley fans during the UFC 306 fight week.
'Funk Master', who is close friends with Merab Dvalishvili and cornered him at the PPV, discussed what happened during a recent interview with MMA Today. According to Sterling, the group of fans initially escalated the conflict by mocking him for his knockout loss to O'Malley at UFC 292. He said:
“When Merab went on the bus after the Friday evening face-off, we saw a whole bunch of people waving him down, so he gets off the bus to go over. Now, his minions Sch*tty and the other skinny twig were on the other side. I see these guys screaming and yelling, coming all the way back over to be a**hole."
