Keeping an eye on the troubled bantamweight scenario (up to 61,2kg.) UFC, Chael Sonnen adopted a friendly stance and suggested the ideal path for aljamain sterling follow, if you can't get an immediate rematch against Sean O'Malley. According to the commentator, 'Funk Master' should move up to featherweight (up to 65.7kg) and venture into a clash of styles against Max Holloway.

“Aljo x Max Holloway. I love this idea. I don't think the move to featherweight should have been affected by losing the bantamweight belt. Because he was going to lose the belt anyway. I love this fight. In fact, I don't know if there's an Aljo fight I'd rather see. I'm a supporter of history prevailing and Aljo getting a rematch with Sean, but I don't know if I'd rather see that than see Aljo at featherweight. This is the search for a title, make no mistake,” said Sonnen on his YouTube channel. YouTube.
