Aljamain Sterling reacts to Merab Dvalishvili's plans of having Sean O'Malley's jacket until 'Sugar' is beaten by 'The Funk Master'

Aljamain Sterling reacted after discovering what Merab Dvalishvili planned for Sean O'Malley's jacket.

Sterling took to Twitter and reacted to a clip from Dvalishvili's recent interview with Nina Marie-Daniele. The No.1-ranked bantamweight was still wearing O'Malley's jacket UFC 288 and revealed that he plans on wearing it until the upcoming bantamweight title fight.

Dvalishvili said:

"How about this? I'm going to wear this [jacket] until Aljo beat O'Malley...So, I'm keeping this jacket until Aljo beats O'Malley...Maybe we should do collaboration, we should sell [the jacket], your Instagram, my Instagram and we should put this post we are selling this jacket."

'Funk Master' quoted the tweet and reacted to his teammates' plans for 'Sugar's jacket. The reaction was also a reference to his comments directed at UFC president Dana White when he questioned why he doesn't get praised for being awesome like Conor McGregor does, writing:

"Wowwww! Isn’t he awesome?!"

Sterling and O'Malley are scheduled to fight at UFC 292 on August 19th, so the two will likely be going back and forth on social media a lot more until then.
