Aljamain Sterling knows his grappling-heavy style might not be for everyone, but don’t think for one second he’s planning on making adjustments now. After all, Sterling (17-3 MMA, 9-3 UFC) knows that a UFC 238 win over Pedro Munhoz (18-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC) could very well earn “Funk Master” a shot at the UFC bantamweight title. “I definitely pride myself on being a finisher, but when you can’t get the guys to the ground or the finish doesn’t come when you’ve got guys hurt – sometimes with these top-level guys, it’s not just as easy as 1-2-3, they’re done,” Sterling told MMA Junkie Radio. “The higher I get in the competition, the harder it’s going to be to put these guys away. But I’m constantly going out there to pitch shutouts and put away the competition in any which way I can.” Sterling and Munhoz meet on the ESPN-broadcast prelims of next month’s UFC 238 event, which takes place June 8 at United Center in Chicago.
