With COVID-19 ban, Aljamain Sterling says ‘there is no fight announcement’

While many people were intrigued and excited at a reported matchup between Aljamain Sterling and Cory Sandhagen for May’s UFC San Diego event, it seems to be news to Sterling himself.

“Funk Master” took to Twitter on Tuesday morning to respond to the rumored bantamweight clash for the scheduled event May 16, which was first reported by TSN and later confirmed via multiple sources by MMA Fighting. With the sports world remaining influx due to the coronavirus outbreak, along with non-essential businesses being closed, Sterling doesn’t see how he could get a full fight camp in to prepare for a pivotal matchup with Sandhagen — or anyone else for that matter.
