Aljamain Sterling Confused About UFC 310 Placement

Aljamain Sterling, former UFC bantamweight champion, expressed confusion over his fight against Movsar Evloev being placed on the prelims of UFC 310 instead of the main card, especially given the stakes of the matchup. Sterling, who transitioned to featherweight after losing his title, previously fought on the main card and now finds himself competing on the prelims for the second consecutive time. He acknowledged the mixed feelings about the placement, viewing it as an opportunity to fight earlier and celebrate a potential victory with friends. Sterling believes the UFC has made an error in not featuring him prominently, suggesting that he will demonstrate his status as a main card fighter. The bout is crucial as the winner could be in line for a title shot in the featherweight division, raising questions about the UFC's decision-making regarding fight placements. Despite the setback, Sterling remains focused on proving his worth in the octagon.
