DALLAS – Sure, it was nice for Aljamain Sterling to get his second consecutive win in the UFC. But even better was getting his first finish in nearly three years at UFC 228 in Dallas on Saturday, thanks to a creative kneebar submission from back control that forced Cody Stamman to tap midway through the second round. According to Sterling(16-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC), it was the same move he tried on Renan Barao last year, except that Barao managed to survive it by doing nearly a full split. “Let’s just day Cody wasn’t as flexible as Renan Barao tonight.” Sterling said backstage after the bout. “I heard his knee pop, and I thought he was going to fight through it.
