O'Malley commented on Sterling's transition to featherweight

Sean O'Malley, UFC bantamweight champion, commented on the possible transition Aljamain Sterling to featherweight.

“I like Aljo, he’s a good dude. It will be interesting if he moves up to featherweight. There are a lot of interesting fights there. I think he has enough weight for that. Now I'm probably 72.5 kg and he's about 80 kg. There is simply no point for him to return to the bantamweight division, he must do it for the sake of health and athletic longevity. There are fights in the featherweight division where he would excel. How about Aljo vs. Brian Ortega? That would be cool".
