The steroid controversy saga between Aljamain Sterling and Movsar Evloev

Aljamain Sterling and Movsar Evloev are going to clash at UFC 307. The start of a rivalry brewing perhaps, as Sterling has come forward to accuse Evloev of using steroids in one of his YouTube videos, “I know I’m gonna be the cleaner man. I know I’m gonna get it done. I’ve no doubt in my mind, even with you cheating. Mentally, it just shows that you’re weak. So, it is what it is. Movsar, I’m coming for that a** and I can’t wait,” said Sterling. this statement by the former bantamweight champion witnessed a severe backlash.

Movsar Evloev even took to his X handle to add a comment on the grave accusations, “Don’t be scared boy, I’ll make it quick. You won’t feel a thing,” wrote Evloev on his socials. Reacting to the Russian fighter’s X post, Sterling too to his socials to counter him. “Basically, you’re admitting I’m right? 😂 You’ve 100% taken gear and probably still on the gear. You talk to much and I know for certain. It’s ok tho. When you realized it’s not enough to beat me you’ll contemplate your entire career of why you even bothered to try,” wrote Sterling.

These are bold claims from Aljamain Sterling, as he has no valid proof that Evloev is on steroids. Their fight will ensue on October 5th, and we will witness who the better fighter is. Regardless, let us over on to another fight news that’s about to happen soon.

Caio Borralho wants a nerd takeover against Jared Cannonier at UFC Fight Night

The nerds are here to take over as Caio Borralho is about to fight Jared Cannonier soon to establish his dominance. The Brazilian fighter is standing for all the nerds across the world. Well, why are we calling him a nerd? That’s because Borralho likes to be addressed as such as he is a former maths and chemistry teacher. Regardless, ahead of his fight against Cannonier, Borralho has something to say to the world.

The Brazilian middleweight fighter while having a conversation with ESPN stated, “We are the nerds who like to fight. The real point [of The Fighting Nerds] is to inspire people. There’s a message for all the people who have been bullied around the world. Some kids wear glasses but don’t like to because they feel they are ugly. Imagine [what it is like] to see the best fighters in the world kicking the s— out of people and are proud to wear their glasses?”

“The Natural” is on a 15-fight winning streak and a win against Cannonier would put him up for the title run. Let us move forward to another piece of news surrounding Tom Aspinall.

UFC legend impressed by Tom Aspinall’s talk game

Tom ͏A͏spina͏l͏l͏ is arguably ͏one of͏ the ͏best heavyweight ͏fighters on the pl͏anet, not just because of his exceptional fightin͏g skills o͏r ͏the fact that he has finished mo͏st of h͏is f͏ights in͏ the first ͏round, b͏ut also because of͏ h͏is abi͏lity ͏to play with wor͏ds ͏in such a way that even pr͏ofessi͏o͏nals believe his c͏leve͏r banter. His most recent escapade was when he stated in his video that Stipe Miocic was injured which forced the entire MMA mechanism to confirm the news which turned out to be false. What he actually meant was Stipe Miocic turned 42 and he might injure himself.

This amazing play of words took Chael Sonnen off-guard as he was impressed by Aspinall’s talking skills, “The point is Tom was still able to make us look in a certain direction, and not because he says Stipe’s hurt, but because he qualified it by stating his age and saying you’re going to be more brittle. Whereas if you look at me, I haven’t even reached my prime. I don’t get hurt; I won’t be hurt. Here I am, uproaring and ready to go. And the message is delivered.”

He further added, “Nonetheless, he got me thinking, he got everybody thinking, he got Jon Jones thinking. He was so successful that he had Ariel Helwani look into it and have to tweet out that it wasn’t true.” Impressed by his skills, Sonnen even stated that this might help him get ahead of everybody.
