In Photos: Aljamain Sterling promotes his rum while having fun time on the sets of Celebrity Poker Tour

Former UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling is currently healing an injury which caused him to pull out of his scheduled fight against Movsar Evloev at UFC 307 next month. During the recovery, 'Funk Master' is using his downtime to try out new side quests.

In his most recent activity outside the cage, the former UFC bantamweight kingpin tried his hand (no pun intended) at celebrity poker. Entering the brackets of the famous Celebrity Poker Tour, Aljamain Sterling had a good time with other celebrities and athletes like Olympian Connor Fields and NBA legend Dwight Howard.

Here are some snaps Aljamain Sterling uploaded on his Instagram:
