MIAMI – Former UFC bantamweight champ Aljamain Sterling isn’t done hunting for gold.
“The Funk Master” has already left his mark on the UFC’s 135-pound division by capturing the title and recording three defenses. After dropping the title to Sean O’Malley at UFC 292, Sterling (24-5 MMA, 16-5 UFC) moved to featherweight, picking up a big win in his divisional debut over Calvin Kattar at UFC 300.
Given his name and status as a former champion, he was likely one win away if he could get past the undefeated Movsar Evloev at UFC 310. Unfortunately, the judges weren’t on his side that night, initially causing him to question his fighting future.
