@arielhelwaniAljamain Sterling says he was given an hour deadline to accept the Kevin Vallejos fight before the UFC moved on: “These things move quick... It was a situation where they had to make an announcement for the card, and it just happened I was training at that time. Luckily, it worked out because I did want to fight one more time before this year is up. A lot of people think I just want to sit on the sidelines. It’s not even that. There’s just no matchups. I was offered the Pico fight, but what was that fight doing for me? The guy’s 1-1. Vallejos makes way more sense."
