Aljamain Sterling makes his featherweight debut against Calvin Kattar at UFC 300. Sterling dominates with takedowns and striking, while Kattar struggles to find his range. Sterling's move to a higher weight class seems beneficial.
Kattar isn’t checking that lead lower leg kick from Aljo as he’s also already in on a takedown. #UFC300
Aljo doing really well. Kattar seems really tentative out there
Aljo’s first round as a Featherweight was successful. Able to takedown Kattar four times #UFC300
10-9 Sterling RD1 4 takedowns and a clear round. New weight looks great on Aljo with the striking as well. #UFC300
They break and are now throwing. Aljo is still more active in the striking department. Kattar is not finding the range despite Aljo leaving some openings but clear round. Aljo looks much better at this weight with striking. #UFC300
Kattar is very patient, Aljo is slightly ahead in RD1 as Aljo is in on a single and gets a takedown. Huge for Aljo if he can get into a 🎒 position. 2:20 to work. #UFC300
Aljo grabs a single and takes Kattar down against the cage #UFC300
