With an eye on the arrival of a new fighter to his former reign, aljamain sterling did not hesitate when giving his opinion on the chances of Deiveson Figueiredo succeed in the bantamweight division (up to 61,2kg.). When analyzing the Brazilian's debut in the new division, 'Funk Master' reduced the chances of 'Deus da Guerra' defeating Rob font on December 2nd. According to the North American, his compatriot will 'erase' the Pará native.
"I Think Rob font will turn off the lights of Figueiredo. I think Figueiredo will be a little too small. Even next to him in person. Figueiredo will have the speed advantage. But I think once Font closes the distance with his short fronts, his long kicks, and then uses that long jab, I think he'll be able to find those big crosses that he throws. I think this will be the fight. Figueiredo, obviously a former world champion, I think he'll make it interesting, but I still think size will be a factor," Sterling said on his Twitter channel.
