Petr Yan on the postponement of the fight with Sterling: There are minor problems with the flight, visa

UFC Bantamweight Champion Petr Yan explained why his fight with Aljamain Sterling was canceled.

“In the aggregate there are minor problems with the flight and visas. We decided with the team to postpone everything to the next year. Perhaps the card will be more suitable. Many inappropriate things are written. Everything has its time," the fighter said during a live broadcast on his Instagram.

The fight was scheduled for December 12 and was about to take place at UFC 256.
