"There has to be an easier way to let everyone know you two are looking for some"

Aljamain Sterling reveals the "handcuffs" method he is using to improve his wrestling

Aljamain Sterling's biggest advantage in the ring is his size and power, especially when it comes to wrestling. However, his next opponent is an Olympic gold medallist, who is known as one of the best grapplers the organization has ever seen.

To improve his wrestling, Sterling spoke about a technique he was using:

"Really focusing on a couple of things we want to do for the fight. Working the jab, working the kicks. Obviously the wrestling, that's always my bread and butter, maintain control on top. The focus was to go with the boxing gloves so that it's a lot harder for me to get takedowns and maintain control because I can't really lock my hands... We call it the handcuffs, when those handcuffs come off and I get used to these phalanges, it's going to be a wrap."

Sterling vs. Cejudo promises to be a fight for the ages. Both fighters have bad blood and will be looking to finish the other on May 6.
