The highly anticipated matchup between Aljamain Sterling and Movsar Evloev is back on, and this time, the stage is set for UFC 310 on December 7 in Las Vegas. Fans were disappointed when Sterling had to pull out from their original bout at UFC 307 due to an injury. But now, the wait will be worth it as the former bantamweight champion looks to cement his featherweight status against the undefeated Evloev.
Sterling, known as the "Funk Master," splashed in the featherweight division after losing his bantamweight crown to rival Sean O'Malley. His victory over Calvin Kattar at UFC 300, which vaulted him to the No. 11 spot in the global featherweight rankings, proved that Sterling's power and skill translated well to the heavier division. Now, he’s gearing up for what could be his biggest test in featherweight waters.
Movsar Evloev, meanwhile, brings an undefeated professional record to the octagon, and he's a force to be reckoned with. With 18 straight wins under his belt, including a dominant unanimous decision victory over Arnold Allen at UFC 297, Evloev has solidified his status as a rising star. His relentless style and ability to control fights have earned him eight consecutive wins in the UFC, making him a dangerous opponent for Sterling.
Though Evloev pushed for a replacement fight, even suggesting a rematch with Diego Lopes, the UFC decided to reschedule the Sterling about, sensing the magnitude of this clash. Both fighters have a lot on the line—Sterling is looking to keep his momentum going in a new division, while Evloev is eager to prove he's ready for the top tier of competition.
As UFC 310 draws closer, the excitement around this featherweight showdown continues to build. With both fighters aiming for featherweight glory, their paths now converge on what promises to be a thrilling night in Las Vegas.
