3. Aljamain Sterling makes his statement
In a fight labeled as a No. 1 contender bout by UFC president Dana White, it couldn’t have gone much better for [autotag]Aljamain Sterling[/autotag].
Sterling showed up in the best form of his career and completely washed away the highly regarded Cory Sandhagen with a first-round submission. It was nothing short of spectacular, and there’s no question a title fight should be next.

If I had my druthers, Sterling would be involved in the next fight for the currently vacant bantamweight title. The UFC seems insistent on making Jose Aldo vs. Petr Yan for that fight, with Sterling getting dibs on next. If that fight is made soon I suppose we can live with it. But if it drags out for any reason, Sterling should certainly slide in.
