Aljamain Sterling intends to become the backup fighter for the bout between Movsar Evloev and Briton Lerone Murphy, which will take place on March 21 at the UFC Fight Night 270 tournament in London.
“I intend to be the backup on the tournament in London. Movsar is one of the most unreliable fighters. How many times has he already withdrawn? Usually, it's him who does it. If I get a chance to fight any of these guys and win, then I think everything will become clear. I will get another opportunity to fight for the title,” Sterling is quoted as saying by Home of Fight.
