Aljamain Sterling is going to be out of action for awhile because the fighter recently underwent surgery to repair ligament damage in his wrist.
A recovering Sterling posted the following on Instagram:

Sterling says in the Instagram post that he wanted to fight Edgar at the event, even after the surgery, but the New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC) wouldn?t clear the fighter in time.
