Sterling wishes to fight the UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski for the featherweight belt. If he beats Volkanovski, he’ll become a double champ. Sterling doesn’t look forward to a longer career as he plans to defend his belt twice or thrice before stopping.

Alexander Volkanovski is fresh off a victory against Yair Rodríguez and is currently dominating the 145-pound division. It would be a huge challenge for Sterling to take the belt off Volkanovski. But for now, Sterling is focused on the Sean O’Malley fight.
