“The Funkmaster” is NOT a “Prelims” fighter!
Former Final Preventing Championship (UFC) Bantamweight roost-ruler, Aljamain Sterling, makes his second Featherweight look at UFC 310 subsequent weekend (Sat., Dec. 7, 2024), taking over undefeated, top-ranked Movsar Evloev from inside T-Cell Enviornment in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Somebody’s acquired to do it.
At the moment, Sterling vs. Evloev is buried on UFC 310’s “Prelims” undercard (see it right here), which is just a little stunning as a result of it has massive stakes within the Featherweight division; in the meantime, there are two fights on the pay-per-view (PPV) fundamental card (Kron Gracie vs. Bryce Mitchell and Nate Landwehr vs. Doo Ho Choi) with no actual contender-type stakes.
Naturally, the previous 135-pound champion is perplexed by his placement on the cardboard, addressing the matter his personal knock-off model of UFC Countdown.
“I didn’t know if I ought to have been insulted by the position on the combat card or glass half-full,” Sterling siad. “I assume that’s one of the simplest ways I attempt to take a look at all the things in life. I get to combat earlier and get to be finished earlier. I used to be just a little confused by it, in fact. I assume they’ve their rhyme or cause for what they do, the UFC brass, and it’s what it’s.
“On the finish of the day, it’s not my group,” Sterling added. “I don’t name the photographs. I simply go on the market and compete, and it’s as much as me to go on the market and show these guys fallacious that I’m a fundamental card fighter. I feel individuals are gonna be in for a really massive shock, and the UFC is gonna notice we tousled massive time by not placing this on the principle card.”
Keep in mind: He’s dominant.
For what it’s value, aside from UFC 300’s legendary combat card earlier this 12 months, Sterling has not competed on the “Prelims” since UFC 238 in 2019 (he defeated Pedro Munhoz).
Is his placement on the cardboard due to this or as a result of UFC CEO, Dana White, thought Evolev’s final combat in opposition to Arnold Allen was tremendous boring?
UFC is unquestionably not one of the best at curating the thought combat card placements, and this silliness proves it once more.
That’s all that is, proper?
