I had ‘probably the most dominant combat’ on UFC 300

Aljamain Sterling labels his efficiency at UFC 300 as probably the most dominant.

Sterling (24-4 MMA, 16-4 UFC) outgrappled Calvin Kattar (23-8 MMA, 7-6 UFC) en path to a lopsided unanimous resolution win, making good on his featherweight debut.

Kattar solely landed 19 whole strikes within the combat, was taken down eight occasions, and was managed for over 10 minutes.

“Don’t get me unsuitable – our combat on that individual night time of UFC 300 was not probably the most entertaining, however it was probably the most dominant combat I believe you possibly can have probably checked out from the complete card from high to backside,” Sterling stated on his YouTube channel.

“I believe I’m arguably the highest three most dominant on that whole combat card. So once you have a look at that, I believe to maintain it in perspective is you’ve received a man who’s on common, lands, I believe, about 4 or 5 strikes per minute, like important strikes, who was lowered to about 0.5 or one thing like that over quarter-hour.”

The previous bantamweight champion is conscious his combat might haven’t been probably the most attention-grabbing, however says shutting out Kattar’s placing recreation completely has to account for one thing.

“(Kattar is) a man who went tooth and nail with (Max Holloway), a man that went toe-to-toe with Giga Chikadze, arguably gained towards Josh Emmett, had an important efficiency towards a man who’s knocking guys out left to proper in Dan Ige, knocked out Shane Burgos, (beat) Andre Fili,” Sterling stated.

“His resume of how harmful he’s goes on and on and on. So for me to make use of my talent set towards his and to scale back him from being somebody who’s that harmful to actually no risk by any means. I believe it deserves somewhat little bit of credit score in that regard.”
