The former UFC fighter talked about Sterling moving up to 145 lbs on his YouTube channel. He predicted how a lot of things could happen in connection with that.

‘The American Gangster’ said, “What if Sterling defeats O’Malley? Takes the microphone and instantly calls out Volkanovski… Right now it very much appears Volkanovski versus Islam should Islam beat Charles? It also to me appears Volkanovski in a backup position in case Charles does what Charles has said three different times, which is not even sure for the fight and then you put in that added pressure of Justin Gaethje.

He further added, “One of them is going to flinch or one of them is going to run out of patience. I mean, there’s nobody that we have that likes to fight more often than Volk. Volk’s only gonna wait so long, right? Volk used to win title fights, go to press conferences. All he’d ask for is another fight.
