Overview

FunkMasterMMA is the YouTube channel of Aljamain Sterling, the former UFC bantamweight champion. He hosts The Weekly Scraps there, a podcast where he debates UFC news and reacts to the weekend's fights.

The channel is independent and had about 92,000 subscribers as of September 2026. It posts almost every day: a full episode after each event, then short clips built around one question.

What you'll find

Each episode of The Weekly Scraps follows a timestamped rundown. After UFC 331, Aljamain Sterling broke down the Joshua Van vs Alexandre Pantoja rematch, weighed in on a 50-45 scoring debate and discussed Casey O'Neill's armbar. After the UFC Apex card, he went over Norma Dumont vs Ailin Perez and a stoppage some viewed as early.

Episodes also take on bigger questions, like who will be the UFC's biggest stars in 2027, or why toughness is not enough in MMA. After UFC Noche he went through the card, including Sean King's debut and Tim Elliott's performance, and called for a fight with Jean Silva.

The short clips ask one question each: who Arman Tsarukyan should fight next, whether Gable Steveson is done, whether Joshua Van is already the second-best flyweight.

Why follow

Aljamain Sterling comments as an active fighter and a former champion. He knows the rules, the judging and fight preparation from the inside, which gives weight to his views on scoring and referee stoppages.

The podcast tracks the UFC calendar week by week, with a full episode within days of each card.

The short clips posted between episodes let you follow his takes without sitting through the full episode. He also reacts to news outside the cage, such as a Joe Rogan Experience episode. On fight day, a clip sets up the main event, for example whether Jose Delgado could rise to the occasion against Jean Silva. The pace is steady, with several uploads a week built around the latest card.

MMA Official's take

We recommend FunkMasterMMA to fans who enjoy debating the news and want a fighter's view on judging, stoppages and divisional rankings.

Start with The Weekly Scraps episode on UFC 331, then use the timestamps to jump to the topics you care about.

If you only have a few minutes, the one-question clips give you his position on the main talking point of the week.
