, Dvalishvili is the most overdue title contender in the UFC. His winning streak now stands at nine straight, with a good case that he should be 11-0 in the Octagon right now, and short of getting a finish, his showing at UFC Fight Night 221 could not have gone much better. While Yan came into the fight having lost three of his last four, all the losses had been controversial in some way or another.
Thus, the teammate situation with Sterling has finally come to a head. Slowed by a neck injury that required surgery, Sterling’s own two-fight rivalry with Yan occupied the title picture for most of the last two years while Dvalishvili kept on racking up wins, and Sterling has maintained that he would move up to featherweight once his teammate was next in line. However, Sterling is now scheduled to fight returning former champat UFC 288 in May.
If, on the other hand, Sterling wins and then moves up, the UFC could have Cejudo fight Dvalishvili for the vacant title coming off a loss—it has certainly done so before—but O’Malley would be more likely to get the call. “The Sugar Show” is on a four-fight winning streak with one no contest, and while his win over Yan was razor-close at best, his lone UFC loss, toin 2020, was brought on by a weird, low-percentage injury.
