Aljamain Sterling trolls those who doubted him with hilarious social media post
Aljamain Sterling silenced many doubters at UFC 273 after edging out a split-decision victory over Petr Yan in what was an incredibly competitive rematch between the top two bantamweights on the planet.
'The Funkmaster' was quick to turn to social media after his win, tweeting:
"I'm going to need y'all to fill this out and hand it in to me by the end of the work day."

'The FunkMaster' was successful at making his first title defense after being sidelined for 13 months following neck surgery and the infamous disqualification during the pair's first encounter.
Now riding a seven-fight win streak, Sterling has strongly affirmed himself at the top of the bantamweight pyramid.
As for what's next, it seems we already know the answer. During Sterling's post-fight interview, a certain former champion was mentioned, who was conveniently sitting in the front row.
"T.J Dillashaw where the f*** you at? you next motherf*****."

Well, well… congrats to @funkmasterMMA, COME GET SOME! 🖕#ufc273 #easymoney
Dillashaw last competed when he beat Cory Sandhagen in a close five-round split decision back in July of last year.
He suffered multiple ligament tears early in the fight but was able to battle through the pain and claw out a victory.
UFC president Dana White told the media at the post-fight press conference the Dillashaw fight would 'probably' be next.

The better part of the fanbase seems to share similar feelings as well as Dana White himself.
It is unknown what will be next for 'No Mercy', but with Dana White claiming TJ Dillashaw will be next, the rubber match between Aljo and Yan may be on ice for the time being.
