Sterling and Zalal show fight-ready physiques ahead of UFC Vegas 116

Aljamain Sterling and Youssef Zalal have both shared photos of their current physical condition ahead of their featherweight bout at UFC Vegas 116 this weekend. Sterling, ranked fifth in the division, is aiming to work his way back into title contention after suffering only two losses in the past eight years—a decision loss to Movsar Evloev and a TKO defeat to Sean O'Malley. Zalal has been on an impressive run since returning to the UFC, winning five consecutive fights with four finishes, and is currently ranked seventh. The bout represents a crucial matchup for both fighters in the featherweight rankings.
