Ahead of the fight, Sterling made it clear that he wanted to best Kattar and call out for a featherweight title shot. However, the fighter didn’t even get the opportunity for an octagon interview after the fight. Many fans believed that the lack of intensity in his fight was the reason for the UFC not giving him the mic.

Ortega didn’t take much time to respond and tweeted that his manager would take care of everything. Henry Cejudo and Kamaru Usman in their video, liked the idea of Sterling calling out Ortega. 

It's a good callout because Brian Ortega is a guy that likes to engage in a grappling. Of course it's a dangerous fight because he's very very Jiu-Jitsu savvy.
