The dynamic 'Funk Master' Aljamain Sterling is preparing to step back into the submission grappling arena on July 25th. He's hoping to maintain his grappling finesse ahead of an expected showdown with Movsar Evloev, a significant featherweight contender. This event is set to be a riveting display of prowess and strategy.
Sterling made a strategic switch to the featherweight division. An opportunity to face Evloev, one of the division's best wrestlers and current No.5 rank holder, could be his golden ticket to accelerate his title hopes.
Before he sets his sights on UFC Paris in September, Sterling has another challenge to tackle. He's scheduled to face Bellator MMA lightweight Jay-Jay Wilson at the Pit Submission Series 7, hosted by Karate Combat.
Responding to his official participation, Sterling said, "Looking forward to the challenge! Let's get it!" This sentiment highlights his excitement, and also his determination to succeed.
The grappling event on July 25th will serve as an important platform for him to showcase his skills and readiness for the more significant battles ahead. Meanwhile, fans and followers are eagerly waiting to see how 'Funk Master' performs against these formidable opponents.
As the dates near, the anticipation builds. Sterling's journey in the featherweight division has just begun, but he's as ambitious as ever.
