Aljamain Sterling Aljamain Sterling has wasted little time making his mark in the UFC. The 25-year-old has catapulted into the top ten of the UFC’s official bantamweight rankings while becoming a must-see fighter. Unfortunately, Sterling (11-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) is exactly the kind of fighter whose earning power is badly hamstrung by the UFC’s new Reebok sponsorship deal. He will make $2,500 from the deal in his next two fights and only $5,000 for the following five fights under the current pay distribution . This despite being a ranked fighter in the biggest MMA promotion in history. While calling himself “ a very pissed off Funk Master ,” Sterling’s laid out his concerns with the deal last week on the Sherdog forums
