Sterling still wants a rematch with O'Malley

Former UFC lightweight champion Aljamain Sterling said he hasn't given up on the idea of a rematch with current belt holder Sean O'Malley.

"I'd be lying if I said that defeat doesn't bother me. I'm not saying O'Malley is a bad fighter, he's a very good fighter. I just think our fight came at a convenient time for him.

I would like a rematch, especially if I can win the belt in the welterweight division. Shawn says he wants to fight Topuria and I would tell him, "Bro, worry about Dvalishvili first and I'll take care of Kattar in the meantime." If I beat Kelvin and I can win the title again, I'd love a rematch with that skinny dude," MMA Mania quoted Sterling as saying
