A very interesting bantamweight bout is now set for UFC Fight Night 102, as Aljamain Sterling takes on Raphael Assuncao.

Sterling (12-1) and Assuncao (23-5) have gone back-and-forth on social media in putting the fight together. It was recently confirmed by UFC officials for the second New York card after UFC 205.

For Sterling, it presents a chance to redeem himself in front of his home fans after losing to Bryan Caraway earlier this year. Assuncao, who is 7-2 overall inside the Octagon, was bested by former champion T.J. Dillashaw, snapping a seven-fight win streak.

UFC Fight Night 102 takes place December 9 from the Times Union Center in Albany. The Friday night card will stream live on UFC Fight Pass.
