Aljamain Sterling Targets Jean Silva for Featherweight Title Eliminator

Former UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling is looking to solidify his position in the featherweight division. In a recent statement, Sterling expressed interest in a matchup against rising contender Jean Silva, proposing that the winner should be granted the next opportunity to challenge for the UFC featherweight championship. Since moving up to the 145-pound division, Sterling has been eager to climb the rankings and secure a path toward gold in a second weight class. By targeting Silva, Sterling aims to clear his path to the title against one of the division's most discussed prospects. As of now, the UFC has not confirmed any plans regarding a title eliminator bout or a potential matchup between the two athletes. Sterling remains focused on high-stakes competition as he navigates his tenure in the featherweight ranks, looking to prove he is the rightful next challenger for the division’s throne.
