UFC champion Aljamain Sterling has admitted he will likely move up to featherweight after two more fights at bantamweight.
Sterling defends his bantamweight world title against former two-weight champion Henry Cejudo in the main event of UFC 288 in Newark, New Jersey this Saturday night. 'Funkmaster' is keen to challenge No.1 contender Sean O'Malley if he gets past Cejudo - and those two fights would signal the end of his bantamweight stint.
“Very likely that’s the path, but I’m just going to see how this fight goes, how the weight cut goes,” Sterling told The Fighter vs. The Writer. "There could be a chance — and I don’t want to put this in the air because people say stupid things like, ‘Oh, that’s the wrong mindset to have.'
