Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is holding a special pre-fight media day this afternoon (Weds., April 22, 2026) for the upcoming UFC Vegas 116: \u201cSterling vs. Zalal\u201d<\/a> mixed martial arts (MMA) event on Paramount+<\/a>, scheduled for this Sat. night (April 25) inside the promotion\u2019s Meta Apex<\/a> facility in Las Vegas, Nevada.<\/p>\n

The LIVE video stream gets underway promptly at 2 p.m. ET featuring the following fighters:<\/p>\n

Aljamain Sterling – No. 5 UFC Featherweight
Youssef Zalal – No. 7 UFC Featherweight
Norma Dumont – No. 3 UFC women\u2019s Bantamweight
Joselyne Edwards – No. 11 UFC women\u2019s Bantamweight
Rafa Garcia – UFC Lightweight
Alex Hernandez – UFC Lightweight<\/p>\n

\u201cI guess what makes this the right fight for me is that I\u2019m facing a surging, hot prospect; someone who has been cut from the UFC, came back, and had a career resurgence,\u201d Sterling told UFC.com<\/a>. \u201cHe\u2019s beaten Calvin Kattar, Josh Emmett \u2014 some really tough dudes \u2014 and of course there was Jack Shore who was a top-ranked bantamweight before moving up to featherweight. He\u2019s a very unique and interesting puzzle to try to figure out, so I\u2019m excited about the challenge and the test. I think beating a guy like this makes me undeniable.\u201d<\/p>\n
