The time when Aljamain Sterling was also attached to UFC's Bantamweight weight, it could be much shorter than expected. The fighter nicknamed Funk Master has easily successfully defended the championship belt against TJ Dillashaw at the UFC 280 event.
In March, he will fight Henry Cejudo, and this may be the time when Sterling decided to fight. Sharing about the weight of the belt protection against Henry Cejudo was announced by Sterling on his Twitter page.
This is understandable because in the present time, UFC's Bantamweight weight class does not have too many people to compete with Sterling. This boxer also wants to create conditions for his friend, Merab Dvalishvili to be shown more in the near future.
According to UFC's rankings, Merab Dvalishvili is ranked 3rd in Bantamweight weight class. Sterling will help Dvalishvili have the opportunity to play a belt match earlier than expected. The rival of the Gruzia boxer may be Sean O'Malley, Petr Yan or Marlon Vera.
Meanwhile, Sterling also has a smart decision because the upcoming UFC's Featherweight weight will empty the championship. Like Sterling, the defending champion UFC weighted Featherweight, Alexander Volkanovski, is about to put on weighs to new goals.
After sweeping all competitors in this weight class, Volkanovski will rank Lightweight to fight Islam Makhachev. The Russian boxer is like Khabib's most worthy heir, and he has shown that excellent. A series of champions will help UFC more attractive in 2023.
