Bantamweight contender Marlon Moraes believes he deserves the next shot at 135lb champion Petr Yan. The Brazilian knockout artist came up short when he challenged for the belt in June 2019. Henry Cejudo stopped him inside three rounds to become a dual-weight champion at UFC 238.
Since then Moraes has picked up a win over Jose Aldo although it came in controversial circumstances. ‘Magic’ scored a split decision on the judge’s cards but many disagreed with the outcome including UFC president Dana White who handed Aldo a title shot despite the fact he lost his divisional debut to Moraes.
Aljamain Sterling has established himself as the number one contender in the eyes of many fans. ‘The Funkmaster’ is riding a five-fight winning streak since being stopped by Moraes in 2017. Last time out he quickly tapped fellow contender Cory Sandhagen at UFC 250 in an impressive performance worthy of a UFC title shot. White though doesn’t seem to agree and has been reluctant to declare ‘Aljo’ next in line despite being pressed on the matter by media on several occasions.
With the UFC boss hesitant Moraes has decided to step forward and state his case for the next shot at Yan on social media, he wrote.
“Congrats to the champ his last bout but the reality is I knocked out Aljo and Jimmy rivera, finished Assancuao, beat Ado. How anyone can tell me that I am not #1 contender? @danawhite @ufc”
Moraes was quickly backed up by his manager Ali Abdelaziz who gave props to Sterling but circled back to his knockout loss at the hands of his client, he wrote.
“Aljo is very good but @MMARLONMORAES knocked him and Jimmy rivera out, finished Assancuao and beat Aldo, ranking says he is #1.
“How anyone can tell me he is not? @danawhite will make a decision, if Aljo get it it’s all good, I’m happy for him but Marlon the man for the job”
Do you think Marlon Moraes should get the next bantamweight title shot?
It appears clear to everyone that Aljamain Sterling is the No. 1 contender in the bantamweight division — except UFC president Dana White.

It appears clear to everyone that Aljamain Sterling is the No. 1 contender in the bantamweight division — except UFC president Dana White.
Sterling is coming off an impressive first-round finish of Cory Sandhagen at UFC 250 last month that put him on a five-fight winning streak. White would claim afterwards that “Funkmaster” would be next in line for a title shot.
However, he seems more than uncertain now. When asked if Sterling would get the next shot following Petr Yan’s win over Jose Aldo to become bantamweight champion at UFC 251 last week, White claimed he wasn’t sure.
That led to a rant from Sterling on social media.
To make matters worse, Yan would add insult to injury which led to a back-and-forth between them.
In what will only add further frustration for Sterling, White once again, refused to name him as the next person in line following UFC Fight Island 2 last night.
“I don’t know,” White said. “He’s in there. He’s up there. He’s one of them.”
Sterling is yet to respond to that comment on social media but Yan certainly took time to mock him once again.
That must be soooooo frustrating @funkmasterMMA

What do you think of White’s refusal to name Sterling as the next contender?

The bantamweight division has never been more exciting and filled with talent than it is right now. While it seems there is one clear next title challenger, UFC president Dana White has not come out and stated that Aljamain Sterling will be receiving the next title shot.
Due to the uncertainty, many fans and athletes alike have been vocal on social media stating that they believe Sterling derives to be the next athlete to face Petr Yan for the title.
Replying to a since-deleted tweet regarding this uncertainty, the new champion Petr Yan wrote “That must be frustrating @funkmasterMMA”, to which the contender replied stating that Yan needs to be ready.
“He’s protecting you! You better get to training soon, because I’m coming for you!”
Yan fired back at Sterling making a suggestion as to why Dana White will not give him the title shot.
Or maybe he thinks you’re not a draw?

“Or maybe he thinks you’re not a draw? Try harder Aljo, I’m rooting for you”
Sterling is coming off an incredible first-round submission over Corey Sandhagen. In this bout, Sterling quickly pressured Sandhagen securing a takedown and finding a rear-naked choke to close the show. After this it had been made clear he was the next contender more deserving of a title shot.
Yan earnt the title defeating Jose Aldo at UFC 251 earlier this month. A fight that was competitive in the early rounds, Yan took charge towards the end of the fight finding his finish in the 5th round.
Many criticized Aldo getting a title shot after coming off a loss in his debut against Marlon Moraes, favouring Sterling to get the shot instead.
Sterling is currently ranked number two in the division with Moraes remaining ahead of him as he was able to get a knockout victory over Sterling back in 2017.
