Aljamain Sterling (8-0) will make his UFC debut on short notice, at UFC 170 against Lucas Matins (14-1) replacing injured Bryan Caraway (18-6).

Sterling is a member of the Serra-Longo Fight Team who has 4 of 5 stoppage wins by submission, all rear naked choke. Sterling in his last 3 bouts has tapped out Casey Johnson, Sidemar Honorio, and Joel Roberts.

Since a promotional debut loss to Edson Barboza at Lightweight, Martins has dropped to Bantamweight and knocked out Jeremy Larsen; and followed that by choking Ramiro Hernandez to sleep.

UFC 170 is on February 22, at the Mandalay Bay Event Center in Las Vegas, Nevada; headlined by Sara McMann challenging Ronda Rousey for the Women’s UFC Bantamweight title.
