A former champion takes center stage in the main event of Saturday’s UFC Fight Night from the Meta APEX in Las Vegas. That main event sees former bantamweight king Aljamain Sterling face Youssef Zalal in a featherweight fight.
Sterling won the bantamweight title with a disqualification win over Petr Yan at UFC 259 in 2021, making him the first UFC fighter to win a championship by disqualification. Any doubts over Sterling’s championship quality were erased after defeating Yan in the rematch before picking up wins over former champions T.J. Dillashaw and Henry Cejudo.
Sterling lost the title to Sean O’Malley in 2023 before moving up to featherweight, where he has gone 2-1, most recently defeating former title challenger Brian Ortega.
Zalal’s path to Saturday’s main event has been interesting, debuting with the UFC in 2020 and winning his first three fights in the Octagon before a 0-3-1 run saw him cut from the promotion. Three first-round wins on the regional scene saw Zalal get a second crack in the Octagon, where he has won five consecutive bouts, four by submission.
