The old saying goes, “He who laughs last, laughs best,” and there is little doubt that Aljamain Sterling is having a good laugh now.
A guy who was disrespected by large swathes of the fan base, particularly after he was the victim of an illegal knee in his title-winning effort, showed that maybe those who criticized him and called him a winner were classless no-nothings.
Sterling defeated one of the greatest fighters in UFC history Saturday when he won a split decision over Henry Cejudo at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
