Featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski no longer sees Aljamain Sterling as a potential challenger. Sterling (23-4 MMA, 15-4 UFC) was planning on moving up a division after attempting to defend his bantamweight title against Sean O’Malley, but those plans were spoiled when he was TKO’d in Round 2 in this past Saturday’s UFC 292 headliner at TD Garden in Boston. Volkanovski (26-2 MMA, 13-1 UFC) called Sterling class for saying that if O’Malley was able to take him out, he can only imagine what Volkanovski would do. Sterling also appeared to have a change in plans, and would like to rematch O’Malley . “(I’ve) got to feel for Aljo, man,” Volkanovski said on his YouTube channel .
