Miesha Tate Blasts Aljamain Sterling On Twitter

The UFC women’s bantamweight champion isn’t amused…

A feud dating back to 2015 will come to a head at UFC Fight Night 88, as undefeated bantamweight prospect Aljamain Sterling faces off against Bryan Caraway in Las Vegas this Sunday (May 29, 2016). The two have been engaging in a frequent war of words, as ‘Aljo’ has been accusing Caraway of ducking him since joining the UFC in 2014. Currently 13-0, Sterling came close to testing the free market after defeating Johnny Eduardo, but finally came to an agreement with the promotion and was booked in against Caraway.

The boyfriend of UFC women’s bantamweight champion Miesha Tate, Caraway fights out of Xtreme Couture and most recently beat Eddie Wineland by decision in July 2015. It won’t only be his own pride he’s fighting for this weekend though, as some of Sterling’s recent comments have got under ‘Cupcake’s’ skin.

The 26 year-old ‘Funkmaster’ recently told MMAJunkie his feelings towards Caraway, stating his upcoming opponent needs to ‘grow some balls.’

“I just think, as a man, to be called out so many different times by all these other fighters, and not saying anything back, is just mind-blowing to me.”

“Where I come from, you talk (expletive) and get your ass whooped, or you talk (expletive) and you shut the other guy up. That’s how it goes.”

“He’s just strange, man. Grow a set of balls. Outside of that, he’s a tough dude. I know it’s not going to be an easy fight.”

Also taking the time to mock Caraway as ‘Mr. Tate,’ Sterling has urged a response from Miesha Tate, and she’s not impressed. Also rather hilariously, ‘Funkmaster’ photo bombs Caraway during an official photo shoot.

Does @FunkMaster_UFC really not see that using a womans imagery as an insult is actually extremely sexist. Quit dissing on women, not cool
