ALJAMAIN STERLING

Hailing from Uniondale, New York, American featherweight Aljamain "Funk Master" Sterling prepares with the Serra-Longo Fight Team. The former UFC bantamweight champion initially gained prominence as a top competitor in the Cage Fury promotion. He is widely recognized for his grappling prowess, which features an unorthodox wrestling approach and a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt.

Entering UFC 329 with a 14-4-0 (1 NC) record, Sterling is looking to build momentum. His recent stretch includes a TKO loss to Sean O'Malley, a decision victory over Calvin Kattar, and a decision defeat against Movsar Evloev. However, he heads into this event on the strength of back-to-back unanimous decision wins over Brian Ortega and Youssef Zalal.
