A training injury has given Aljamain Sterling plenty of time to reflect on his first professional loss.
The up-and-coming bantamweight injured his right bicep in his first gym sparring session after returning home from his split-decision loss to Bryan Caraway last month, which has both given him plenty of time to plot his return, but also a bit too much time to think about what went wrong.
"At the end of the day I take it for what it is," Sterling said on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour. "I lost a close fight, I lost a battle of inches, it was just, it kills me kind of, a couple technical things on my end, that's mostly what bothers me.
