LAS VEGAS – With the UFC’s bantamweight title currently vacant, Aljamain Sterling believes the promotion isn’t calling on the right people to fill that slot. “It’s not my company,” Sterling told MMA Junkie. “It is what it is. The UFC is going to do what the UFC thinks is best for them, and all I can do is do what’s best for me, and that’s fight – beat another top contender, and hopefully that’s going to be enough to warrant my title shot, you know?” Reigning champion Henry Cejudo gave up his belt in May, surprising the MMA community with a sudden retirement following UFC 249. In the interim, UFC president Dana White has announced plans to have former featherweight champ Jose Aldo and hard-hitting Russian contender Petr Yan compete for the vacant title.
