Former UFC bantamweight champion Petr Yan commented on a recent interview with Aljamain Sterling. He said that he did not want to fight the Russian in Abu Dhabi, but he would do it so as not to anger the president of the promotion, Dana White.
“A fake champion doesn't solve a damn thing. Because Dana White knows that you are the first “champion” in history to cry to get the belt. You can't even get sanctioned in your state. You will fight where they tell you, whiner. And inside the octagon, you will do what I let you do,” Yan wrote on his Twitter account.
