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”

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?
Try harder Aljo, I’m rooting for you

“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.
Who do you think deserves the next bantamweight title shot?

Former UFC women’s bantamweight champion had no problem with the referee’s stoppage in Petr Yan’s win over Jose Aldo at UFC 251 this past weekend.
Yan defeated Aldo for the vacant bantamweight title following a back-and-forth brawl that ultimately saw the Russian earn the fifth-round TKO win. “No Mercy” lived up to his nickname as he dropped Aldo in the final round and unloaded with brutal ground and pound.
Many felt referee Leon Roberts should have stopped the fight sooner as Aldo took heavy damage while not intelligently defending himself.
Tate, however, disagrees.
While Tate felt the fight could have stopped sooner, she had no problem with the stoppage as a whole. She feels fighters know the risks when signing on the dotted line and would prefer to not have a fight stopped too quick.
“I am not a fan of fights being stopped too quick,” Tate said on MMA Tonight. “People are concerned about safety. My argument is, we are in a hurt business. We fight for a living. We sign on the dotted line and we know exactly what we are risking and we want to be allowed to risk it.
“… I wasn’t cringing at that stoppage. I wasn’t upset. There was maybe two times in the last 30 seconds or so where I was kind of like, ‘oh, he could stop it here.’ And the ref chose not to. And I didn’t feel upset about that because right when I thought, ‘ah, he should probably stop it,’ there was a slowdown in the action. Petr adjusted position or Jose moved. I do think Jose Aldo knew that fight was done before the ref decided to step in … but I’m not upset, I don’t think it was a horrible stoppage.”
Tate went as far as saying she would have loved to have had Roberts referee her fights any day of the week.
“We’re fighting! I would way rather have a referee who lets fighters be fighters than somebody who wants to overdo their job and stops fight soon,” she added. “For me, that’s the key. I would have that man referee my fights any day of the week.”
