Aljamain Sterling is considering MMA layoff, going back to school due to lack of fights, pay

Aljamain Sterling is supposed to fight in December at UFC on FOX 17. The problem is he doesn't have an opponent. And if he doesn't get one, the top bantamweight might just decide to go back to school to get his Master's degree.

Sterling is not happy these days. He has been asking for a fight with Bryan Caraway, but he said Caraway has turned down the bout. Caraway is ranked No. 7 among UFC bantamweight contenders, while Sterling is No. 6. No one else has stepped up to fight him Dec.
