Fresh off the biggest win of his career, UFC bantamweight contender Aljamain Sterling will look to notch his third consecutive triumph on December 9th, as he takes on veteran Brazilian grappler Rani Yahya. UFC officials announced the matchup for its first ever trip to Fresno, California.
Sterling (14-2) has had a very busy 2017, with Yahya representing his fourth fight of the year. After suffering consecutive split decision losses to Bryan Caraway and Raphael Assuncao, Sterling got himself back on track with a unanimous decision win over Augusto Mendes in April.
