Aljamain Sterling reacts to hilarious post featuring face-swapped versions of UFC 314 opponents Alexander Volkanovski and Diego Lopes 

Alexander Volkanovski and Diego Lopes are scheduled to face each other in the main event of UFC 314. The fight is set for the vacant UFC featherweight title. Before that, Aljamain Sterling recently shared his reaction to a post featuring both of this weekend's headliners.

Show Me The Money is a popular podcast hosted by UFC veterans Renato Moicano and Gilbert Burns. Notably, their podcast's X handle frequently shares hilarious takes and memes. Recently, they swapped the faces of UFC 314 headliners Volkanovski and Lopes, asking for predictions of the upcoming fight.

Interestingly, when 'Funk Master' saw the post, he responded with his thoughts on the matchup:

"Tough one to call! 🤔 this one feels different"

After a successful career in the UFC bantamweight division, Sterling now competes in the featherweight division.

Like the other contenders in this division, 'Funk Master' eagerly awaits to see who will become the next UFC featherweight champion following Ilia Topuria choosing to vacate.
