Aljamain Sterling vs. Movsar Evloev is back on.
On Friday, the UFC announced that the featherweight matchup between Sterling and Evloev will now take place at UFC 310 on Dec. 7 in Las Vegas.
Evloev and Stering were originally scheduled to face off at UFC 307 which takes place next week in Salt Lake City, until “The Funk Master” withdrew from the bout due to injury. After Sterling’s withdrawal, Evloev campaigned for a replacement opponent, including his former foe Diego Lopes, but it appears the UFC instead opted simply to delay the contest for later in the year.
Sterling, a former bantamweight champion, made the move up to featherweight this year after losing the belt to rival Sean O’Malley. He won his debut fight against Calvin Katter at UFC 300 to move to No. 11 in the MMA Fighting Global featherweight rankings.
Undefeated in 18 professional bouts, Evloev has won eight straight fights in the UFC and most recently competed in January, taking a unanimous decision victory over Arnold Allen at UFC 297.
UFC 310 takes place on Dec. 7 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, and does not currently have a main event scheduled.
