Aljamain Sterling, the former UFC bantamweight champion, admitted that after the early defeat Sean O'Malley he experienced some relief.
“After the fight it was a bit of a relief because thank God it was over and I was able to take a break, which offset the disappointment. Obviously I was upset that I made a mistake and something like this hasn’t happened since I fought Marlon Moraes...” Sterling said.
Let's remember that Sterling lost to O'Malley via TKO in the second round.
