Aljamain Sterling may not be on the UFC 296 card. but he sure found himself in an uncomfortable position as he tried to approach the arena for a good watch. ‘Aljo’ took to his X account to address an issue that many might find rather amusing. But not in the best of ways.

Aljamain Sterling is stuck outside of the T-Mobile Arena at UFC 296

Aljamain Sterling is a former champion of the bantamweight division. Just a while ago he took to his X account to reveal to his fans that his tickets had reportedly been pulled. This meant Sterling was practically left with no way to enjoy the match live from inside the arena. Fans were left stunned.

Do you think ‘Aljo’ will be able to make it in? Some fans were quick to try and bring Dana White’s attention.

If fans could, they’d just dial White up to get the former champ in.

Some fans joked that White isn’t on great terms with ‘Aljo’.

Meanwhile, others just considered the whole thing a big blunder.

One fan joked that perhaps it’s because ‘Funk Master’ is no longer the champ.

On further questioning, Sterling explained the dire situation further. And it wasn’t looking great. He and the people he’d brought along were stuck without a solution to the situation. Perhaps the issue will take a little longer to get fixed. What can he even do?

Do you think that Dana White is responsible for this situation? Or is it the management that is to blame? Either way, in the time Sterling was out, he clearly missed a lot of the live action. And when nothing could be done, he had to resort to watch it on a screen like everybody else.

Sterling finds a way to watch UFC 296

Sterling told his fans that the only way he could get inside the arena was if he bought another ticket as a fan. And he wasn’t very fond of that idea at all. So, instead he went to a Las Vegas bar to watch it live on the screen instead. He soon took to his X account to thank the bar ‘Flankers’.

He still kept giving his takes as the fight went on but the ordeal was clearly bothersome as ‘Funk Master’ denied his fans any pictures with him as he tried to figure the mess out. A fighter not being allowed inside the arena in spite of having his tickets booked is outlandish. Perhaps an improvement in the administration could help. What are your thoughts?
