Aljamain Sterling’s UFC contract has been fulfilled after his victory over Johnny Eduardo at UFC Fight Night 80, and he’s looking for his next opponents if he and the UFC agree to another deal.
“Let’s line them up, man — let’s line them up,” Sterling said at the post-fight press conference. “And I’ll keep choking them out one-by-one. That’s the mind I’m going by. I’ve got three fights, three finishes, and if I had my UFC debut on a little bit more notice I’d have won that one too, and I’d be four for four.
When asked about the bantamweight title fight between TJ Dillashaw and Dominick Cruz coming up at UFC Fight Night 81, Sterling said he wants a shot at the title even though he has a feeling Urijah Faber is next in line.
“Oh yeah, 100 percent,” he said. “I got my eye on that title fight in January. I know [Urijah] Faber’s most likely the most logical guy for the title shot. It just makes sense. Him having such a big rivalry with Cruz and Dillashaw. So it makes sense, and that’s the big money fight right there.
“[But] I think I’m the next guy in line. You’ve got Raphael Assuncao, he’s got a seven-fight win streak right now, but he’s injured, coming back from injury. So I go toe-to-toe next, or maybe Bryan Caraway will stop hiding under Miesha Tate’s tit and fight me.”
UFC Fight Night 80 took place at the inside The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan Hotel and Casino on Thursday, December 10th, 2015.
