Yevloyev and Sterling got into an altercation about the fight

Two UFC welterweights, Movsar Yevloev and Aljamain Sterling, got into a verbal altercation on social media over a possible bout.

"Don't worry about it. Just sign the contract when it comes and I'll get my title shot," Aljamain wrote.

"Just don't try to push your beating date too far back. I want to get rid of you as soon as possible and move on to the real challenges," Movsar replied.

Earlier, Yevloev's manager Sayat Abdrakhmanov reported that a bout between his charge and the promotion's former lightweight champion Sterling could take place in July or August this year.
