Umar Nurmagomedov “unmasks” Aljamain Sterling: The truth about the shocking turnaround in UFC!

Nurmagomedov calls out Sterling for backing off his earlier endorsement, sparking a social media war that could shift the entire UFC bantamweight title picture. With both fighters tangled in a heated battle of words, the road to the bantamweight championship is getting hotter by the minute! Who’s next in line—Nurmagomedov or Dvalishvili? Stay tuned.

Umar Nurmagomedov Calls Out Aljamain Sterling for Changing Stance on Title Shot Support

Umar Nurmagomedov, the undefeated bantamweight contender ranked No. 2 at 135 pounds, recently called out UFC champion Aljamain Sterling after the latter seemingly reversed his previous support for Nurmagomedov’s title shot. Nurmagomedov, who has been relentlessly pursuing a showdown with current bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili, pointed out that Sterling had once backed his candidacy for a title shot, only to now express doubt.

Sterling’s Past Support for Nurmagomedov

Back in August, after Nurmagomedov’s dominant win over Cory Sandhagen, Sterling publicly endorsed his title shot candidacy on Twitter, stating, “Umar earns his title shot.” However, earlier this week, Nurmagomedov tagged Sterling in a tweet, reminding him of his past support with the message, “When you weren’t afraid to speak the truth.” This exchange quickly caught the attention of fans and sparked a back and forth between the two fighters on social media.

Sterling’s Response and Shift in Position

Sterling quickly responded to Nurmagomedov’s call-out, asking whether he planned to fight soon or was simply focused on calling out other fighters. He emphasized that, while he believed the title shot should go to the fighter who has earned it most, his stance on Nurmagomedov’s title shot had shifted. Sterling bluntly replied, “I really don’t care who gets the shot,” signaling a more indifferent view on the matter compared to his earlier support.

Dvalishvili vs. Nurmagomedov: The Waiting Game

The **bantamweight title** drama continues to unfold as Dvalishvili and Nurmagomedov still have not finalized their next match. Dvalishvili has been vocal about his reluctance to face Nurmagomedov and has hinted at possible bouts with other top contenders, including Sean O’Malley and Petr Yan. With both fighters still uncertain about their next moves, fans are left eagerly waiting to see when and against whom they will clash for the title.

Sterling’s Upcoming Fight and His Own Focus

Amidst the **bantamweight title controversy**, Sterling has his own fight to prepare for. He is scheduled to return to the octagon next Saturday at UFC 310, where he will face top featherweight contender Movsar Evloev. This high-stakes match is critical for Sterling’s future in the UFC, but his recent comments on Nurmagomedov indicate he is closely watching the **bantamweight division’s developments** as well.
