On To the Next One: Matches To Make After UFC Vegas 116

Aljamain Sterling wants his shot to become a two-division UFC champion. After dominating Youssef Zalal in the main event of Saturday's UFC Vegas 116 card at the Meta APEX, the former bantamweight titleholder has certainly made a case. Did "Funk Master" do enough to leapfrog Movsar Evloev earn the shot at Alexander Volkanovski for the featherweight strap? On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee discuss what's next for Sterling following his lopsided decision win over Zalal to pick up his third win in his new division. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for Joselyne Edwards after upsetting Norma Dumont in the co-main event, Rafa Garcia following his impressive win over Alexander Hernandez, along with other main card winners Davey Grant, Raoni Barcelos, Ryan Spann, and more.
