Yusuff Zalal targets Charles Oliveira's featherweight submission record

Yusuff Zalal has stated his ambition to break Charles Oliveira's record for most submissions in featherweight history, which currently stands at six. Zalal revealed he became motivated after seeing a graphic during Oliveira's fight with Max Holloway that showed the submission record. With his name already on that list, Zalal believes two more submission wins would tie Oliveira's mark. He expressed particular pride at the prospect of submitting Aljamain Sterling, noting that Sterling has never been submitted in his career and has only been finished twice, both by strikes. Zalal sees submitting Sterling as a potential career-defining achievement.
