Sterling, after losing to Movsar Evloev, doesn't consider it a total defeat, feeling it should be considered a 'W' due to his strong performance. He emphasized that being ranked lower doesn't reflect the competitive fight he had.
"I don't think that loss to Movsar should push me down the rankings. I almost felt like it should be treated as a 'W'... I feel I shouldn't have to fight down the rankings after being 1-1 and losing to a guy that people are saying is gonna be the next champion."
