Ryan Garcia, the reigning WBC lightweight champion, has recently sparked a potential boxing match with UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling. Garcia has been vocal about his desire to face big names in the sport, including Sterling, who has expressed interest in a boxing match.
Aljamain Sterling’s unanimous decision victory over Calvin Kattar at UFC 300 has sparked a debate over whether he deserves to challenge the newly crowned BMF champion, Max Holloway. Former UFC light heavyweight and heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier believes Sterling’s performance at featherweight was worthy of a title shot, while former Pittsburgh Steelers safety Ryan Clark criticized the fight as “boring.” Sterling’s win marked his return to the octagon after a TKO loss to Sean O’Malley in August 2022.
