The lightweight fight will take place on the night of December 8 at UFC 310 in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
"The road to the title is to dominate Movsar. If I dominate Movsar, I'm going to concurrently solve a lot of things that I can't control. I can only control my performance. The UFC will decide who to give a title shot to next. And hopefully they'll give me a title shot if I go out there and do a good job.
Get a fight with Yevloyev? I think it's a win-win for the careers of both of us," Sterling said at the press conference.
