The two featherweight titans preparing to clash at UFC 307 are taking the fight outside the octagon. Aljamain Sterling and Movsar Evloev are at each other’s throats as the upcoming bout has sparked a heated social media exchange.
Evloev recently taunted Sterling with a provocative “don’t be scared” taunt. This verbal jab didn’t sit well with the former bantamweight champion, who fired back with a scathing accusation, suggesting Evloev had used performance-enhancing drugs.
“Basically, you’re admitting I’m right? You’ve 100% taken gear and probably still on the gear. You talk too 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. #UFC307,” wrote Sterling via X.
This isn’t Evloev’s first attempt to get under Sterling’s skin. The undefeated Russian fighter has been relentless in his pursuit of this matchup soon after Sterling’s debut at featherweight.
As the tension builds, fans are left wondering about the truth behind these accusations. Sterling’s comments have added a new layer of intrigue to an already exciting matchup. The UFC has yet to comment on Sterling’s accusations. However, the organization takes drug use very seriously.
