UFC bantamweight contender Aljamain Sterling feels ready for a title shot. “The Funk Master” released a stunning promo to hype up his potential championship match against Petr Yan.

After Henry Cejudo retired, the UFC’s bantamweight throne fell vacant. As a result, the UFC booked Jose Aldo vs Petr Yan for the undisputed belt. Considering that Aldo had no wins at bantamweight, many fans felt that he did not deserve the title shot.

Several critics were upset as they believed that Aljamain Sterling should have gotten the title shot before anyone else. After all, Sterling was on a four-fight win streak against some of the best contenders. Nevertheless, Sterling choked out Cory Sandhagen at UFC 250 and extended his streak to five wins.

On the other hand, Aldo and Yan faced off against each other at UFC 251. As expected, the young and hungry Yan decimated Aldo to grab the UFC gold. Yan now seeks a new challenger, and Sterling believes that it is his time.

Aljamain Sterling hypes himself up

“The UFC bantamweight division is a gauntlet. And I’m the last man standing. I took out up-and-comers, undefeated prospects, and I even took out contenders that were in the top five, that knocked out former world champions. I’m the next guy in line. So Petr Yan, get ready baby. ‘The Funk’ is coming.” 

Aljamain Sterling’s shot at the title is long overdue. And even Dana White seems to realize it. The UFC juggernaut said that Sterling will fight for the title next. Besides him, the champion has also shown a keen interest to compete against the American fighter.
