Aljamain Sterling’s Determination to Prove UFC ‘Messed Up’ with UFC 310 Card Placement

Aljamain Sterling, the former bantamweight champion, has found himself in an unexpected position ahead of his fight at UFC 310 this Saturday. Despite headlining just two fights ago, Sterling is now relegated to the prelims, where he faces undefeated featherweight contender Movsar Evloev at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. This is a far cry from just 15 months ago, when Sterling defended his bantamweight title against Sean O’Malley in the main event of UFC 292. After losing to O’Malley, Sterling moved to featherweight, and now, he’s questioning the UFC’s decision to place his fight so low on the card.

Surprised but Determined to Prove the UFC Wrong

Sterling expressed his surprise and frustration over his fight’s placement but is not letting it deter his confidence. “I didn’t know if I should have been insulted by the placement on the fight card or glass half full,” he shared on his YouTube channel. While he remains optimistic, focusing on the advantages of fighting earlier, Sterling believes the UFC made a mistake. He plans to prove that he belongs on the main card and believes his performance will leave fans and the UFC brass regretting their decision. “I think people are going to be in for a very big surprise,” Sterling said. “The UFC is going to realize, ‘We messed up big time by not putting this on the main card.’”

A History of Fighting for His Place

This is not the first time Sterling has had to fight for his spot. Despite winning 10 of his first 13 UFC fights, Sterling was often overlooked for main card appearances. His rise to the top began after winning the bantamweight title in 2021, which led to two main event headliners: UFC 288 against Henry Cejudo and UFC 292 against O’Malley. The loss to O’Malley still stings, as Sterling felt pressured to accept the fight before he was fully prepared. He later revealed that the UFC had pushed him to fight O’Malley sooner than he was ready. Now, Sterling is focused on never repeating that mistake.

Ready for a Comeback After a Lengthy Layoff

Having not fought since April, Sterling is grateful for the extended layoff. Originally scheduled to face Evloev at UFC 307 in October, Sterling asked for the fight to be postponed due to an elbow injury. With more time to prepare, he is now eager to return, but only on his own terms. “I learned my lesson from the last fight, which was my loss to O’Malley,” he admitted. “I told myself I’ll never let somebody push me into a corner over money again.” Now, with a renewed focus on both his mental and physical well-being, Sterling is determined to come back stronger than ever.

Facing the Undefeated Movsar Evloev

Evloev enters the fight with an undefeated 18-0 record, including eight UFC victories, and has proven himself as a tough opponent in the featherweight division. Despite the challenge, Sterling is confident he can be the first to defeat Evloev. “I’ve turned them back before, and I fully intend to do that again,” Sterling declared. This fight represents another step in his quest to become a two-division champion. “I’m in a new headspace. I’m in a new weight class. My energy levels are better. We’re going to make this a fight. We’re going to make this a dogfight,” he added, ready to prove that he still belongs among the best in the UFC.

Sterling is eager to show that his move to featherweight was the right decision, and he is more than capable of defeating an undefeated challenger like Evloev. As he continues to push for his place at the top, Sterling’s determination is clear: he’s not just fighting for victory but to prove his worth as one of the UFC’s elite fighters.
