The American will share the octagon with compatriot Kelvin Kattar on April 13 at UFC 300 in Las Vegas, USA.
"When I fight Kelvin, my performance will surprise you. A lot of fans say, "If O'Malley was able to knock you out, what will a bigger opponent who hits harder do to you?" And I always answer that you can't do damage to someone you can't touch.
I think that's going to be a key point. I'm going to try to make our fight as similar as possible to his fight with Max Holloway," Sportskeeda quoted Sterling as saying.
