'Funk Master' has since been forced to defend Tate, who has come under criticism from Sterling's fans for his attitude towards women. Although Sterling came to Tate's defense, he did agree with various points made by his fans.

​

"We can go back n forth with “full” length videos to discredit this, although I agree some things tow the line until you listen in its entirety to hear the full statement. But I really don’t care that much haha. If you want him as the bad guy, the content is there and vice versa.

@funkmasterMMA Aljo, ur responding to the claim that they beat women. They didn’t. They are still losers. And u can’t deny they are misogynistic. I don’t want to argue with someone who I’m rooting to win in in a fight next week but u can’t act like there isn’t any basis behind their cancelling

Sterling also responded to @goshinby's statement and pointed out that often Andrew Tate's words may be taken slightly out of context. 'Funk Master' wrote:

​

"100% correct. Also said was, with all the mental health issues, and predators out there, why walk home by yourself at odd hours of the night, in sketchy places? That was the responsibility he mentioned for making safe decisions, which makes sense, although doesn’t justify rape.

@funkmasterMMA I don't like the dude because he said that if a woman dressed somewhat nicely gets r*ped, it's up to her to bear responsibility. That shit doesn't even make sense and is just a flat-out gross thing to say.

Sterling knows what it feels like to be labeled a villain. 'Funk Master' was accused of faking his way to winning the world title after an illegal strike by Petr Yan caused the fight to be stopped.

Aljamain Sterling pictured training with welterweight champion Leon Edwards

Aljamain Sterling is set to defend the bantamweight title next weekend at UFC 280 when he takes on former champion TJ Dillashaw.

Bantamweight contender and longtime teammate Merab Dvalishvili is part of Sterling's fight camp in Abu Dhabi, helping 'Funk Master' prepare for Dillashaw. But it would seem that fellow Jamaican Leon Edwards is offering to assist in Sterling's preparations as well.

'Funk Master' retweeted a post by @RossEdmonds, where Dvalishvili, Sterling and Edwards are all pictured.

​

"Leon Edwards, Aljamain Sterling and Merab Dvalishvili training out in Dubai before UFC 280 next week!"

Aljamain Sterling is facing an intricate and skilled striker in TJ Dillashaw, and any advice from striking specialist Leon Edwards would be welcomed with open arms.
