Sterling explains why he turned down a fight with Allen

Aljamain Sterling, a former UFC bantamweight champion, reported that he was once offered a fight with Arnold Allen.

“Arnold Allen was one of the options, but I then asked for a rematch with Sean O’Malley. That is why our fight with Allen did not take place.

I have no doubt that they would have given it to me, it’s just that at that time, everything didn’t coincide as it should. Arnold is already fighting with Movsar Evloev, but this fight would suit me.”
