He weighed in at 134lbs for the bout, before quickly putting on 35lbs (16kg) after defending his UFC title.

In a video posted to YouTube, Sterling, nicknamed Funk Master, showed off his stunning body transformation post fight.

It came after he headed out for dinner at an Italian restaurant, where he gorged on meatballs, pizza and bread… just for his starters.

Sterling then tucked in to a huge plate of ravioli for his main course.

Sitting at the dinner table, Sterling told the camera: “I love food. I love carbs.”

The morning after the meal, Sterling stood in front of the mirror, looking noticeably less shredded than he did during fight week.

Sterling himself appeared surprised by the transformation, saying “woah” as he looked at himself in the mirror.

However, the New York born fighter’s abs quickly returned as he tensed his muscles for the camera.

He then headed for the sauna to help lean himself up after his mega meal.

Sterling, who has a 23-3 record MMA record, has been UFC bantamweight champion since March 2021.

After beating Cejudo last weekend, Sterling faced off with rising star Sean O’Malley inside the cage.

The two went nose-to-nose before security were forced to intervene and separate the pair, who are set to fight later this year.
