Top-ranked UFC fighter may quit MMA due to low pay
Top prospect and No. 6-ranked Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) bantamweight Aljamain Sterling might soon be putting pen to paper, as opposed to leather to face, if he can't find a suitable Octagon dance partner for a pending bout in December.
"The Funkmaster" is an impressive 11-0 (3-0 UFC) and last finished Takeya Mizugaki via third-round, arm-triangle choke back in April. Since then, Sterling has nearly come to blows with boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, while also hurling shots at fellow UFC contender Bryan Caraway.
It seems like everyone wants to fight "Kid Lightning" these days.
