Youssef Zalal targets Charles Oliveira's featherweight submission record

Youssef Zalal has set his sights on breaking Charles Oliveira's record for most submissions in featherweight history. Oliveira currently holds six submissions in the division, a statistic highlighted during his fight with Max Holloway. Zalal stated he needs two more submission victories to tie Oliveira's record. He noted that Aljamain Sterling has never been submitted, only stopped by TKO and knockout twice, making a submission win over Sterling particularly meaningful. Zalal expressed that finishing Sterling by submission would be a great source of pride for him.
