A featherweight matchup between Brian Ortega and Aljamain Sterling will still take place at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Shanghai, although at a different weight class.
Ortega (16-4) and Sterling (24-5) will fight at the 155-pound lightweight limit, after both fighters weighed in at 153 pounds Friday. The UFC did not provide a reason for the switch, although it’s well known that Ortega struggles to make the featherweight limit of 145 pounds and has been contemplating a permanent move up.
