Featherweight contenders come to blows at UFC Vegas 116, with former bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling seeking a marquee victory over the streaking Youssef Zalal. In the co-main event, women’s bantamweight stalwarts Norma Dumont and Joselyne Edwards are set to duke it out to further their climb up the rankings.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

UFC Vegas 116 Main Event<\/p>\n

Following an incredibly stellar run at 135-lb, which saw him capture UFC gold and defend it three consecutive times,\u00a0Sterling<\/a> made the decision to move up to featherweight in 2024. Recording a 2-1 record in his new division, \u201cFunk Master\u201d is gearing up to announce himself as a legitimate title challenger this Saturday.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

After a magnificent 3-0 run on the regional circuit, Zalal<\/a> made his return to the UFC in early 2024, where he has embarked on a fierce warpath through the cream of the crop at featherweight. A winner of five straight inside the Octagon, \u201cThe Moroccan Devil\u201d has proven to be a major problem in the competitive 145-lb upper echelon.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

UFC Vegas 116 Co-Main Event<\/p>\n

Returning to the 135-lb class two years ago,\u00a0Dumont<\/a> has quickly cemented her place as a top contender, evident by her trio of wins over Germaine de Randamie, Irene Aldana, and Ketlen Vieira. Back for her seventh back-to-back appearance at the Meta Apex, \u201cThe Immortal\u201d is gearing up for a splendid performance this weekend.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Standing as one of the best finishers in her weight category, Edwards has enjoyed a major amount of success in her last four bouts. Winning all of them by stoppage, including two first round knockouts, \u201cLa Pantera\u201d is easily must-watch-tv at women\u2019s bantamweight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
