Pedro Munhoz hopes to jump the line as UFC hesitates on giving Aljamain Sterling title shot

Pedro Munhoz aims to spoil Frankie Edgar’s bantamweight debut with a finish in the main event of Saturday night’s UFC on ESPN 15 in Las Vegas, and hopes to score a shot at newly-crowned champion Petr Yan as the company seems undecided on his next move.

Aljamain Sterling won five in a row since 2018, including a decision over Munhoz, and appears to be next in line as the only man ranked ahead of him, Marlon Moraes, already has a fight lined up opposite Cory Sandhagen, who recently lost to Sterling.
