A pivotal bantamweight encounter between Aljamain Sterling and Cory Sandhagen appears to be in the works for UFC 250 on June 6.
Sterling recently claimed he was confident in his chances of fighting for the bantamweight title next assuming Henry Cejudo was serious about his retirement. Either it appears Cejudo isn’t or Sterling has decided to face Sandhagen in the meantime as as multiple sources have confirmed the fight to MMA Fighting.
Sterling also posted a photo on Twitter stating that he’s signed a contract for UFC 250.
“Funk Bandits, it’s official! My contract is signed! Quarantine beard and mustache are in prime form! Let’s get FUNKY!”
Sterling was originally set to face Sandhagen at UFC San Diego this month anyway until the COVID-19 pandemic suspended the event.
“Funkmaster” is currently on a four-fight winning streak with his most recent victory coming over Pedro Munhoz.
Sandhagen, meanwhile, is undefeated in the UFC with a 5-0 record that includes notable victories over John Lineker and Raphael Assuncao. The winner of the fight could stake a claim at the bantamweight title next.
UFC 250 is slated to take place at the Apex facility in Las Vegas. It will be headlined by a women’s featherweight title fight between Amanda Nunes and Felicia Spencer.

If Henry Cejudo does end up retiring, Aljamain Sterling is pretty confident he will be fighting for the bantamweight title next.
Following his TKO win over Dominick Cruz at UFC 249 earlier this month, Cejudo shocked many by announcing that he was going to retire. Although some remain skeptical, it does appear that Cejudo is serious about it.
And as far as Sterling knows, he believes the UFC will have one final conversation with the current champion before moving on to crown a new one.
“As far as what I can probably reveal, I believe the UFC is gonna have one last conversation with Cejudo just to make sure he’s definitive on retiring and then move on from there,” Sterling told MMA Fighting. “I don’t know what’s gonna happen with Petr Yan, because I think he’s in Thailand right now. So I don’t know how the whole thing with the visa issues.
“Obviously, Dana White said he would like to crown a new champion relatively soon. That could be UFC 250, [or] UFC 251. We don’t know yet. But it all depends on how everything opens up with the economy in the world again, and from there, the UFC will better assess the landscape and make their decisions based on that.”
UFC president Dana White previously claimed that a fight for the vacant title would likely include Petr Yan and another top contender.
Although Sterling has been slated for a fight with another top contender in Cory Sandhagen, he remains confident he will get the call. After all, he believes he has a better claim than anyone given his current four-fight winning streak.
“I’m at a 7.5 [or] 8 right now on a scale from 1-10,” Sterling said when asked to rate his chances. “I feel pretty good about it. If not, I fight Cory Sandhagen, beat him up, hopefully get the finish, and I can’t be denied after that. He beat Assuncao, John Lineker, and arguably, I think he has a better resume than Petr Yan.
“… I’m still focused on Cory Sandhagen. He’s the guy I’m still studying. If we have to make some slight adjustments, if it’s for Petr Yan, we’ll see what happens. Hopefully they can get him into the country and see if we can make this thing go down. If not, we’ll just wait and see what the UFC wants to do.”
Sterling’s recent win streak includes victories over Brett Johns, Cody Stamann, Jimmie Rivera and Pedro Munhoz.

It looks like a pivotal bantamweight bout between Aljamain Sterling and Cory Sandhagen is in the works for next month.
As the UFC resumes its fight schedule this weekend, plans are in motion for future events as well. One of those events is on June 6 and according to ESPN’s Ariel Helwani, the promotion is hoping for it to take place at the UFC Apex Center in Las Vegas though nothing is finalized as of yet.
With the event being a month away, not much has been finalized about the card in general other than reports stating that Amanda Nunes would defend her women’s featherweight title against Felicia Spencer.
However, it appears a fight between Sterling and Sandhagen is also slated for that show according to Helwani. He adds that it is currently being discussed with nothing signed right now.
“I reported Tuesday that the UFC is hoping the June 6 card will be able to take place at the Apex in Las Vegas, but it hasn’t been finalized yet because the Nevada State Athletic Commission isn’t up and running,” Helwani wrote on ESPN. “Nevada opening up would be a gift from above for the UFC because it would be easier running all the events there, and I suspect whenever Nevada opens for business many events will take place.
“Amazingly, that card is a month away and we still don’t know what the main event will be. Will it be Amanda Nunes vs. Felicia Spencer, or something bigger? One fight that has been discussed for that card is Aljamain Sterling vs. Cory Sandhagen, which is a potential No. 1 contender fight at 135, but it hasn’t been signed yet.”
Sterling is on a four-fight winning streak and has also won six of his last seven outings. He last outpointed Pedro Munhoz. Sandhagen, meanwhile, is 5-0 with the UFC and is coming off a huge win over Raphael Assuncao.
With both fighters having a claim for the next title shot, it is entirely possible that the winner of this fight faces the winner of this weekend’s UFC 249 co-headliner between Henry Cejudo and Dominick Cruz.
Then again, nothing is guaranteed when it comes to the bantamweight division.
