Aljamain Sterling Talks About His Signature Gold Chain

Boom. And we're live. You're the first guy with a high top ever to wear these. I was wondering whether or not the microphones were going to sit, but it's perfect. Yeah. It's just right in there. It's like a little crevice. Fluffy, like a little rest area. Does that help? Does having that much hair on the top of your head, is there any benefit of that? I think when you get like, elbowed or anything like that, I think it helps out a ton. Like if someone, if you have someone in their guard and they're trying to elbow the top of your head, I would imagine. Yeah. It's a little cushion on it. So I think it protects you. And I kind of grew out the beard for that kind of the same reason, but it doesn't get as burly as I kind of wanted to, but it works. I think in boxing, they used to make people shave their beard. Yeah. That's probably why. Impact. You know that kid, Desi Green, I used to live with him. He's in the UFC also. And whenever I put that guy in the Gita, because he has these big dreads, he would always get out of them because the dreads were like, it gave his head, it made his head appear like it was bigger. So you wrap around it and you squeeze the cushion and it just compresses. And then his head just slides out of it completely out. So it's like a cheat code. Slippery, slippery dreadlocks. I would also imagine though, that having a bald head, if you get sweaty, would make it a little greasier. Like if you have stubble, like on the top of your head, that would provide like a little bit of friction. Yeah. It makes sense. I follow you. I follow you on that. I haven't had a bald head though. So I don't, I start from you to know. I like how your shirt even has a gold chain on it. I was going to wear the big boy chain today, but I don't know. I don't know. You only carry that out when you fight? I usually do. I try to keep it not like too ridiculous all the time, you know, try to be like only in character, like make it for like a special occasion type of thing. There's even, I would consider this a special occasion, but I try to make it more of like an MMA thing. There's something extra special about a t-shirt with gold chain on it. It might be more special than an actual gold chain itself. It works. It works. So it's kind of silly. Yeah, man. How much does that thing weigh? The real one? Not very heavy. Not very heavy. It's like 10 pounds. No, I wish it was 10 pounds. That'd be 10 pounds of gold, but it's not. So is it like an Easter bunny? Yeah. That thing is massive, right? Yeah. So is it hollow? They're like hollow tubes? Yeah. You think they'll be so heavy. You think, I get a lot of people that come up to me and start grabbing my chain. I'm like, yo, this is supposed to be a mystery, you know, to the human mind. You're not supposed to know what this feels like. You know, it's really light. Give them the illusion that I spent like $25,000 on a big ass gold rope chain. But, uh, nah. Well, you remember when Rampage used to wear the motorcycle chain? Yeah. The links. Yeah. Real heavy links around his neck. I was going to actually go. There was two routes I was going to go. The old school route with my chain, like the way my dad used to wear it and how we used to wear it when we were kids or Rampage Jackson and be like the, the new generation of Rampage Jackson. Even I wasn't like slamming people, but I would have to like somehow work that in there.
