Sterling appeared on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Hour recently and discussed a variety of topics.

And he believes that in order to ascend at a meteoric pace, Ngannou and UFC need one another. Nevertheless, he believed that Ngannou quit since he didn’t get a McGregor-like treatment.
In his words, “I think both sides of the party messed up. I think Francis needs the UFC in regards to continuing his rise into the mainstream. I look at the UFC. You let the baddest man on the planet walk over? What? Because the guy wants to do a boxing fight while he’s still under contract? Conor did it, why can’t Francis do it?”
