Aljamain Sterling calls out Jean Silva for a number-one contender fight
Aljamain Sterling wants to see who's next in line for a title shot between himself and Jean Silva.
UFC lightweight Aljamain Sterling is demanding a December fight against number-one contender Jean Silva. Having claimed three victories in his last four bouts and riding a two-fight winning streak, Sterling believes he has secured a strong position in the title picture. The former bantamweight champion views a number one contender matchup against Silva as the key to securing UFC gold.
Sterling is unconvinced by Silva's recent performance, suggesting that he needs to defeat a worthy opponent to earn a title shot. Sterling asserts that Silva should have a fight on his record that demonstrates his superiority in the division. Sterling maintains that he is the clear-cut number one contender, emphasizing his desire to take on the fight that makes the most sense, rather than accepting random bouts.
The 37-year-old fighter is ready to give Silva the opportunity to heal and return at his best, aiming to face the champion in December.
