Zalal open to Sterling fight after Ramadan

Featherweight Youssef Zalal is reportedly being considered for a matchup with former champion Aljamain Sterling.

According to sources, discussions have involved a date shortly after Ramadan, with an April 11 slot in Miami mentioned as a possibility.

Zalal has said he would accept the opportunity despite Ramadan complicating a full training camp, though he has not confirmed receiving an official offer.

Such a bout would reportedly help propel Zalal toward a top-five ranking if he wins.

He is also monitoring the upcoming Volkanovski vs. Lopes rematch at UFC 325 as part of the division picture.
