What was said
""I was told I had an hour to give an answer. I just got off the mats. I didn't even get a chance to talk to my, my team yet.""
Former UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling says he was told he had one hour to give an answer on a proposed fight offer, adding that he had just finished training and had not yet spoken to his team. Sterling says he then tried to reach UFC executive Hunter (surname not stated in the excerpt) and went public on social media to signal his interest in the match-up.
