Former UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling will be making his featherweight debut at UFC 300. Meanwhile, ‘Funk Master’ is also scheduled to compete at Fury Grappling 8. He recently took to social media and revealed what his plans are for the grappling contest, which will take place on the 30th of December.

Aljamain Sterling’s 2023 was a mix of emotions. The 23-4 fighter had one successful title defense against a returning Henry Cejudo at UFC 288 and lost his bantamweight title to Sean O’Malley at UFC 292. However, Sterling’s not done competing this year as he sent a message to his upcoming opponent on an Instagram post.

The ‘Funk Master’ is back for one last contest in 2023. He is scheduled to take on Kevin Dantzler in the main event of Fury Grappling 8. The former UFC champion posted a few pictures from a recent grappling training session on Instagram. There, Sterling also sent a message to his opponent, revealing his plans to secure a victory.

Aljamain Sterling wants to put on an impressive performance against Kevin Dantzler. He is not looking to win by points. Instead, the ‘Funk Master’ wants to defeat his opponent by securing a finish. Mentioning his memorable quote, Sterling said, “‘I’m coming for data [a**]’ look. December 30th we’re looking for a finish!” He wants to end the year on a high given that he lost his last UFC fight. Meanwhile, Sterling has a few more grappling bouts coming up before his UFC 300 fight.
