Aljamain Sterling breaks silence after Sean Strickland accuses his manager Tiki Ghosn of sexual misconduct

Aljamain Sterling is the first well-known fighter to publicly address the allegations of sexual assault made against his manager Tiki Ghosn by Sean Strickland. Sterling said that he only learned about the claims this week.

In an Instagram video, Strickland stated that an incident involving a fighter and a woman at Ghosn's gym, Huntington Beach (HB) Ultimate Training Center, led him to discontinue his association with the gym.

Strickland said he later learned from a friend that Ghosn had also been accused of sexual misconduct with another friend's daughter. The former UFC middleweight champion also stated that he would defend himself in court if Ghosn filed a lawsuit against him for slander or defamation.

Sterling, who is managed by Ghosn, recently came out on X and expressed his thoughts on the accusations made by Strickland, who supposedly had direct discussions with the women involved in the claims. 'Funk Master' wrote:

''I’m receiving a lot of messages on social media regarding my management. I can 100% confirm that I learned of the accusations this week. I don’t have all the information but this is not a reflection of me, in any form.''

In response, Strickland stated that he could not disclose the girl's identity and that they would only become public if he got sued.

''Ya man trust me I really want to release the girls name but I just can't. If I get sued it will come out but it's up to her and her family to come forward not me ...''

If any of the aforementioned information regarding his friend's claims proves to be true, Strickland says he will assist the victim in suing Ghosn.

Aljamain Sterling talks about Movsar Evloev fight

Former UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling recently discussed the potential stakes of his upcoming fight against Movsar Evloev. The featherweight showdown will take place at UFC 307 on Oct. 5 at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Sterling claimed on The MMA Hour that given the current state of the featherweight division, a victory over the undefeated Evloev should earn him a shot at the featherweight title:

"I go out there and I finish Movsar Evloev in the first round, I'm getting a guaranteed title shot. I can't see any other way around it. I 100% believe that.''
