Johns vs Sterling at UFC Fight Night 128
Newsday reported yesterday that a bantamweight contest between top contenders Brett Johns and Aljamain Sterling has been booked for UFC Fight Night 128 on April 21st. Johns (15-0) is looking to pick up his first victory over a ranked fighter after defeating his first three opponents inside the Octagon. Sterling (14-3) most recently was on the receiving end of a brutal knockout courtesy of Marlon Moraes.
Sterling at one point was one of the most heavily hyped fighters in the division, but has now lost three times in the UFC. The odds for this fight should be close, and Johns could open as a slight favorite due to his unblemished record.
