Aljamain Sterling lauds Jared Cannonier for his UFC 271 win against Derek Brunson
Aljamain Sterling has been popularly hailed for his social media prowess. He live-tweeted the progress of almost every UFC 271 fight on Twitter for his fans.
Having witnessed the action unfold in the middleweight bout between Jared Cannonier and Derek Brunson, he could not help but give a shoutout to 'The Killa Gorilla'.
Jared Cannonier recorded a pivotal victory at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, on Saturday night at UFC 271. After knocking Derek Brunson out in the second round, he has seemingly secured the next shot at Israel Adesanya's middleweight title.
While in conversation with Daniel Cormier in the wake of his triumph, Cannonier called upon Dana White, who was seated cageside, to present him with an opportunity to fight for the title.
Discussing the result on Twitter, Sterling said:
"Big win for [Jared Cannonier]. Takes out a gritty Brunson who has improved a lot of the years. He’s had a great run to get into title contention, at 37 years old, but it was Jared’s night. That power is undeniable!"
