Sterling: Figueiredo a sacrificial lamb at UFC 324

    Aljamain Sterling warned that Deiveson Figueiredo looks like an easy target at UFC 324 as the event nears.

    Sterling made the comments on his YouTube channel, arguing Figueiredo is undersized after moving up to bantamweight.

    He backed Umar Nurmagomedov to win their featured prelim bout, reportedly predicting a second-round submission.

    Sterling also suggested Figueiredo would have better title prospects back at flyweight rather than against bigger opponents at 135.

    The remarks were published Jan. 23, 2026 as UFC 324 approaches; see the original report for more.
