Having revealed earlier this week how he will likely test featherweight waters in his return to the Octagon next year, former undisputed bantamweight champion, Aljamain Sterling has suggested an immediate title-eliminator off the bat at UFC 299 in March, against former titleholder, Max Holloway.
Sterling, the current number one ranked bantamweight contender, has been sidelined from the Octagon since he headlined UFC 292 back in August of this year in Boston, Massachusetts, seeing his record-setting run as bantamweight champion come to a halt.
Dropping a second round loss, Uniondale native, Sterling was finished with an early second round TKO loss to arch-rival, Sean O’Malley – and had proposed a potential featherweight move regardless of result against the Montana native.
