Former UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling’s featherweight run continues this Saturday when “Aljo” faces off against the resrugent Youssef Zalal.
On his second stint with the UFC, a much improved Zalal has landed himself in the 145lb’s top 10 thanks to victories over the likes of Calvin Kattar and Josh Emmett. “The Moroccan Devil” have won five straight in the UFC, eight straight overall, and could be circling the title picture were he to add a former champ to his resume.
As for Sterling, he’s 2-1 in the featherweight division, sort of. Considering how badly Brian Ortega missed weight for their fight last August, it was almost a lightweight affair. Still, you have to hand it to Sterling for carrying on and getting the job done.
Weigh-ins for UFC Vegas 116 take place Friday morning at 9AM PT, 12PM ET. Full results can be found below.
