Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is holding a special pre-fight media day this afternoon (Weds., April 22, 2026) for the upcoming UFC Vegas 116: “Sterling vs. Zalal” mixed martial arts (MMA) event on Paramount+, scheduled for this Sat. night (April 25) inside the promotion’s Meta Apex facility in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The LIVE video stream gets underway promptly at 2 p.m. ET featuring the following fighters:

Youssef Zalal – No. 7 UFC Featherweight
Norma Dumont – No. 3 UFC women’s Bantamweight
Joselyne Edwards – No. 11 UFC women’s Bantamweight
Rafa Garcia – UFC Lightweight
Alex Hernandez – UFC Lightweight
“I guess what makes this the right fight for me is that I’m facing a surging, hot prospect; someone who has been cut from the UFC, came back, and had a career resurgence,” Sterling told UFC.com. “He’s beaten Calvin Kattar, Josh Emmett — some really tough dudes — and of course there was Jack Shore who was a top-ranked bantamweight before moving up to featherweight. He’s a very unique and interesting puzzle to try to figure out, so I’m excited about the challenge and the test. I think beating a guy like this makes me undeniable.”
