A bantamweight showdown is official for Dallas, Texas. Earlier this week, a report from Fansided surfaced linking Cody Stamann and Aljamain Sterling to a possible matchup. The report comes after a month or so of back and forth between the athletes on social media and interviews.
The feud began from a social media post in which Sterling called out former UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz. In the post, Sterling respectively challenged Cruz to fight on a date of his choosing. While the attempted call out failed to garner Cruz’s attention, it did find the mind of Stamann.
