While there is much anticipation and excitement for the reported men’s bantamweight title fight between champion Aljamain Sterling and former champion T.J. Dillashaw, there’s still one issue to settle before we see this fight happen.
On his official YouTube channel, Sterling revealed that he hasn’t signed the bout agreement yet. The sticking point? His pay. More specifically, the lack of an increase in his fight purse for what will be this second title defense.
“There’s no fight until there’s ink on paper, and as of right now, my contract is exactly the same,” Sterling said (via MMA Junkie).
