Aljamain Sterling is a man on a mission; to rid the UFC of a boring fighter once and for all. The latest in his sights is none other than the undefeated Ingushetian fighter, Movsar Evloev. The newly transitioned featherweight is taking shots at Evloev for being boring.
Aljamain Sterling recently posted a video on his X handle. The video starts off with Sterling waking up and checking his phone. The time is shown to be 3:00 am. The phone shows a wanted picture of Movsar Evloev with the words “UFC’s most boring fighter” written. He then gets up from that bed and moves to a door. Sterling then opens the door and it shows a pair of MMA gloves and a gym bag. He then says he will get his title shot after this.
If you’ve seen this man, let him know I’m looking to collect my bounty. Let’s do this September!

Sterling’s recent antics have come from his back and forth with Evloev. Sterling had earlier publicly stated that he would fight Evloev. However, he then turned his attention to other high-profile fighters like Brian Ortega or Yair Rodriguez. He had said that he felt Evloev was not a big enough name for him to fight.
Sterling is coming off a dominant win over Calvin Kattar in his featherweight debut. Evloev on the other hand is coming off a decision win over Arnold Allen. The two have traded verbal jabs back and forth for some time now. It remains to be seen if the UFC brass would be interested in this grappling-dominant matchup.
