After suffering a devastating defeat in December, UFC bantamweight Aljamain Sterling (15-3) bounced back with a big win at April’s UFC Fight Night: Barboza vs. Lee. That night, in Atlantic City, NJ, he bested then-rising prospect Brett Johns. This weekend, at UFC 228, ‘Funk Master’ meets Cody Stamann; another upstart who is hoping to leapfrog him in the 135 lbs rankings.
Sterling told Bloody Elbow he was, “very very happy” with his performance against Johns.
“I was able to implement my game plan from bell to bell and really impose my will and keep the fight where I wanted to keep the fight.
