"Aljamain Sterling put on a clinic in all things grappling and wrestling on Saturday when he smothered Youssef Zalal over five rounds to log a victory."
"Zalal was the owner of a 2-3-1 stretch with the UFC from 2020 to 2022 but that included decision defeats against studs like eventual double champ, Illia Topuria and striking standout, Sean Woodson."
"Melquizael Costa is on the ascent. Costa is on a six-fight win streak and has finished his last two opponents, most recently, Dan Ige in late February to earn himself a performance bonus."
UFC Vegas 116 featured 13 fights, with six on the main card. Aljamain Sterling out-grappled Youssef Zalal to win by unanimous decision in the main event. Joselyne Edwards also secured a unanimous decision victory over Norma Dumont in the co-main event. Four win streaks were snapped, while two fighters extended their losing streaks. Youssef Zalal faced his first loss in his second UFC stint, and a potential next opponent could be the loser of Melquizael Costa vs. Arnold Allen, scheduled for May 16.
