Aljamain Sterling thinks the odds are in Merab Dvalishvili ’s favor to beat Umar Nurmagomedov at UFC 311. Dvalishvili (18-4 MMA, 11-2 UFC) defends his bantamweight title against Nurmagomedov (18-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) in Saturday’s co-main event (pay-per-view, ESPNews/Disney+, ESPN+) at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif. Although betting odds suggest otherwise, Sterling is confident that his teammate will remind everyone why he’s unbeaten in his past 11 appearances. “I think if we can keep the fight where we want it, Merab is going to shut a lot of people up and going to prove a lot of people right that he is who he says he is,” Sterling said on his YouTube channel
