Dillashaw (Left), Aljamain Sterling (Right) Aljamain Sterling is seemingly hyped up ahead of his highly-anticipated fight against former UFC bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw. Reigning UFC bantamweight champion Sterling is scheduled to defend his title against Dillashaw at UFC 280 on October 22. 'Funk Master' has long been at odds with Dillashaw and has, time and again, jibed at the latter over his steroid usage. Sterling, a reputable grappler, and wrestling savant has consistently maintained that he'll dominantly defeat the former titleholder when they clash inside the octagon. On that note, in a video posted to the UFC's YouTube channel, Sterling cut a fiery promo against Dillashaw. Alluding to the fact that Dillashaw is often referred to by the moniker 'snake' Sterling warned that he's going to skin the snake at UFC 280. Promising to retain his title at UFC 280: "We've got 30 days, baby, to UFC 280. Aljamain Sterling, 'And Still.' We're gonna skin the snake, baby! Skin the snake! Let's go!" Watch Sterling's eerie warning to Dillashaw in the video below: The consensus is that the UFC 280 clash with T.J. Dillashaw could potentially be a tough stylistic matchup for Aljamain Sterling. Dillashaw has long been hailed as one of the most well-rounded fighters in the division. Additionally, it's believed that the former champion boasts a significant advantage over 'Funk Master' in the striking realm, which could be the difference-maker come fight night. However, as evidenced by the updates posted on his 'FunkMasterMMA' YouTube channel, Sterling has been pulling out all the stops in his preparations. Moreover, the 33-year-old Sterling firmly believes he'll get the better of the 36-year-old Dillashaw in every realm of the fight.
