“We’ll have somebody else fight, we’ll do somebody else for the interim title,” White added. “Don’t say you’re going to go out and fight and then start saying stuff like, ‘If my [body holds up].’ What’s the first thing that happened? As soon as I was at the [UFC Vegas 73] press conference, I was asked, ‘Is Aljamain Sterling really going to fight or not?’”7
On Wednesday, Sterling took notice of White’s recent remarks and suggested the pair discuss their problems over a phone call instead of in the public eye.
I’m a phone call away boss! Respectfully, you made a fight, the night of the fight, without a single word of it mentioned to me or checking on my injuries. I have a personal life outside of fighting. But once again, I’ll show up and piss in everyone’s Cheerios…again.
