"I'm c*min on dat..." - Aljamain Sterling brings up old 'sus' remark in response to Sean O'Malley's "crash diet" tweet

Aljamain Sterling and Sean O'Malley got into a back-and-forth on social media as they prepare for their bantamweight title fight, which is less than one month away.

O'Malley started with the mindgames by taking a jibe at the reigning UFC bantamweight champion's weight. He asked Sterling whether he began cutting weight yet as he is a fighter that cuts a lot to make 135lbs and has been open about his plans to move up to featherweight after the fight.

He wrote:

"3 weeks till weigh ins...@funkmasterMMA you starting your crash diet today or waiting few more days?"

'FunkMaster' responded by referencing his infamous post-fight interview when he put Petr Yan on notice that he was truly the top fighter in the division. This time, he directed his message towards 'Sugar' as he plans on successfully retaining his title for the fourth time, writing:

"3 weeks til weigh ins, and I’m c*min on dat...#Pause tho, cause I know you like that freaky deeky sh*t"

It will be interesting to see what the interactions will be like between Aljamain Sterling and Sean O'Malley as they continue to generate interest in their main event at UFC 292.
