Aljamain Sterling vs. Brett Johns announced for UFC Atlantic City

Coming off of an ugly knockout loss, it isn’t getting any easier for Aljamain Sterling.

For his next challenge, Sterling has been booked to fight fellow bantamweight grappler Brett Johns at an upcoming Fight Night event on April 21 at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. The bout was first reported by Newsday.

Sterling (14-3) has won just two of his past five outings after starting his career with 12 straight wins. Last December at UFC Fresno, he was on the receiving end of a knee to the head from Marlon Moraes that left him out cold on the canvas.
