The current bantamweight champion of the world, Aljamain Sterling, has been a part of many controversial moments.

Chael Sonnen thoughts on Aljamain Sterling
Recently Chael Sonnen spoke about the criticism Aljamain Sterling is receiving, and he explains how he is against it. “There’s certain things that Aljo would just like to get credit for, and he’s right to do that,” Sonnen said as quoted by mmajunkie.usatoday.com.
“I have never seen a more disrespected world champion, and this isn’t new. You guys got your nuts in a ringer over Aljo the night that he won the world championship via disqualification. It wasn’t just you the viewer.
The pundits did it to him, as well. “It wasn’t just the pundits. There were officials and members of the commission that had a huge problem with the referee letting a world title change hands over disqualification.
I never understood that. We only have a couple of rules in this sport: Don’t poke his eyes, don’t bite the son of a b*tch, and don’t kick him when he’s down. One was egregiously violated”. Aljamain Sterling has a large fan following, and after hearing Chael Sonnen’s supportive words, the bantamweight champion should definitely feel better.
It will be very interesting to see what ends up happening on the 19th of August. “‘We can bring in the greatest and most decorated combat athlete in the history of time. … If we do that, we get Cejudo back, we get rid of Aljo, the world can then be fixed.’ Aljo didn’t follow the script”.
He further said. “Instead of appreciating it, we’ve decided to be angry and we’ve decided to be mean to him, and we’ve decided to hurt the world champion’s feelings”.
