Sterling defeats Zalal, calls out featherweight top contenders

Aljamain Sterling earned a victory over Javid Zalal at a recent UFC event and immediately called out top contenders in the featherweight division. The post does not specify whether the win came by decision or finish, but Sterling's post-fight callout signals his intention to fight ranked opponents next. The event as a whole was criticized by the poster for being decision-heavy, with 11 of 13 fights going the distance, making for a less exciting night overall. Sterling's move to featherweight has been one of the more closely watched transitions in the UFC, and his latest performance keeps him in the mix for bigger fights. No specific names were mentioned in the callout.
