Former Bantamweight champ Aljamain Sterling was among the few fighters announced to be featured in the UFC 300 fight card. The “Funk Master” predicted the UFC 300 main event in a recent video uploaded to his YouTube channel.

“I’m just saying if we’re trying to make this a huge card, what bigger fight can there be? Obviously Jon Jones is out,” claimed Sterling, hinting that there is a bigger draw than Jon Jones since he is out with an injury.

Aljamain Sterling claims that Conor McGregor brings the most value from a number standpoint. He predicts McGregor will take on Michael Chandler at UFC 300, as he states, “But what bigger fight can there be outside of John Jones to bring a huge just number value to this card other than Conor McGregor versus Michael Chandler? I think that is a huge fight.“
