Not too long ago, Aljamain Sterling expressed his dissatisfaction with his win over Kelvin Kattar. He said that he needed to win more convincingly. However, earlier today, Sterling posted a video on his YouTube channel in which he called the win the most dominant win on the UFC 300 card.
"Our fight with Kattar at UFC 300 wasn't the most exciting fight, I agree. But it was the most dominant win in the entire card. I was probably in the top 3 in the tournament in terms of dominating my opponent. And it's important to look at this in context - Kattar usually throws 4-5 punches per minute on average. I cut that down to 0.5 per 15 minutes," Sterling said in a video on his channel.

On April 13 at the UFC 300 Anniversary event in Las Vegas, USA, Sterling won a unanimous decision on judges' scorecards against Kelvin Kattar.
"Aljamain looked good. Kattar looked quite bad against him. Yes and Sterling looks much bigger at welterweight. Nevertheless, as I recall, Aljamain was booed three times. He was taking the fight to the ground and keeping Kattar on the floor. They were just laying there. That's Sterling's style. So I saved the lightweight," said the American on his YouTube channel.
Aljamain Sterling, former UFC lightweight champion, admitted he was afraid of Kelvin Kattar before their fight.
"Zabit knocked me out in training in 2017 when I was even smaller than I am now and had no idea who he was. The fight with Kelvin scared me because I saw how good Kattar was in the fight with Zabit. So before the fight itself, I had a lot of insecurity. It wasn't clear to me what was going to happen. So for the performance in this fight I can put myself "excellent", - wrote in his social networks Sterling.
Recall, Sterling beat Kattar by decision at the anniversary UFC 300.
