Sterling and Ortega will collide on Saturday in the Co-Main event of UFC Shanghai. Although he is not the headliner, “funkmaster” versus “T-City” will be disputed for five rounds if necessary. This does not fit well with the former UFC Bantamweight Champion.
Spend against Mmafighting.com Prior to the event, Sterling explained that there is no extra incentive to be part of a five-round, non-title fight.
“Yes, I don’t know why they are five rounds,” Sterling told MMA Fighting. “I don’t know if Brian Ortega is the one who asked for five rounds. But like, five -round most important events, if you are not the champion, you get an extra wage structural. So I am a bit irritated because we don’t get extra wages for five rounds.
“I have something like:” did he want to fight five rounds without extra money? ” I think it is the child, what we are not getting a trophy at the ends, so that is 10 extra minutes. I don’t like 5 rounds to do five more?
Sterling will try to rebound after dropping a unanimous decision to Movsar Evloev at the end of 2024. He hopes to be himself in the UFC Vederweight title photo. This will be the first trip from “Funkmaster” to Shanghai for a price fight. Bjpenn.com will keep you informed of the UFC Shanghai Card.
