Aljamain Sterling is coming off the back of a big win from UFC on ESPN 1, where he defeated his opponent, making his case as one of the top talented young fighters in the UFC at the moment. However, now he is engaged in a war of words in a rivalry he did not anticipate against Aljamain Sterling.
Aljamain Sterling did not hold back when it came to calling out Cody Garbrandy on Twitter. He launched a tirade, where he talked about Cody Garbrandt, calling him a peacock and saying that he was actually ‘phony’ like a typical high school jock.
“I’m sure Garbrandt is a great guy to some and what he’s done for that kid was dope. But I’ve had my interactions and he’s a phony prick. Typical HS jock that peacocks around. We get it. You’re cool, you’re good, and you pluck your eyebrows.”

Cody Garbrandt is not one to let insults go unanswered, and he quickly sent out a tweet in reply to this as well.
Coming from the guy that wears a fake ass gold chain. We will talk after my next fight, hope you are still with the same energy then! 👌🏼 https://t.co/XGBJo0NmWl
