ALJAMAIN STERLING

Representing the Serra-Longo Fight Team, this American athlete competes within the featherweight class. He previously reigned as the bantamweight king, defending that belt three times while securing high-profile victories against competitors like Henry Cejudo, Petr Yan, and Cory Sandhagen. The orthodox fighter holds a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt earned under Matt Serra and maintains a background as a collegiate All-American wrestler. As the first individual in company history to claim a championship via disqualification, he established a significant legacy throughout his tenure in the lighter weight class before moving up in competition.

Entering this contest with a professional resume of twenty-six wins and five losses, he looks to maintain momentum. His previous five appearances include a unanimous decision victory over Youssef Zalal and a similar win against Brian Ortega. Before those results, he dropped a decision to Movsar Evloev following a successful outing against Calvin Kattar. The sequence was preceded by a technical knockout loss to Sean O'Malley.
