After losing his bantamweight title to Sean O'Malley at UFC 292, Aljamain Sterling will finally make his featherweight debut against Calvin Kattar on the UFC 300 prelims.
The loss in August 2023 ended a nine-fight win streak for Sterling (23-4, 15-4 in UFC), who held the 135-pound belt for over two years. Now 34 years old, Sterling will move up 10 pounds to the featherweight division after years of being one of the largest bantamweights on the UFC roster.
Like fellow UFC 300 fighter Aleksandar Rakic, Kattar (23-7, 7-5 in UFC) is attempting to return to the Octagon after tearing his ACL in his last loss to Arnold Allen.
