Aljamain Sterling: I need to fight more often, even if it means going up to 145

Outspoken UFC bantamweight contender Aljamain Sterling talked to Bloody Elbow's Three Amigos Podcast about his plans to test the free agent market, why he wants to be out of the sport by 31, Reebok's follies, and more.

It may be under the radar, but the #5 and #10 ranked UFC bantamweights are fighting next week in Las Vegas. Serra-Longo product Aljamain Sterling is set to face Muay Thai ace Johnny Eduardo at UFC Fight Night: VanZant vs. Namajunas on Thursday, December 10th. Despite the fact that Sterling is in the top 5 and boasts a perfect 11-0 record, and Eduardo's last fight (albeit 1+ year ago) resulted in a stunning KO of Eddie Wineland, this fight has been placed on the prelims, more specifically the bottom-half of this 12-bout Fight Pass show.
