Aljamain Sterling Set For First Title Defense
3 years agoAfter winning the UFC bantamweight title in an awkward situation at UFC 259 in March of last year, champion Aljamain Sterling (20-3) will make his first title defense against the man he defeated, Petr Yan, in Saturday night's co-main event. Sterling has shown the ability to go the distance and get a decision (nine times) and has proven he can earn a submission (eight times). DraftKings sees Funk Master as the night's third-lowest underdog with a salary of $6,900. Throughout his UFC career, Sterling averages 80.3 fantasy points per contest. In their first contest, Sterling was only 1-for-17 on takedowns but landed 97 significant strikes in four rounds of action.
