Yan hasn't signed a rematch contract with Sterling yet

Petr Yan, the former UFC lightweight champion, has revealed that he has not yet signed a rematch contract with Aljamein Sterling.

"By the end of August we're going into an active phase of preparation. We're already abstracting, we're going to be fully prepared. The contract has not been signed yet, but the UFC management and matchmakers have already decided that the fight will be in Abu Dhabi. All the media are already trumpeting - it's no longer confidential. A formality is left - the contract. Then it will be confirmed," the fighter said.

Earlier it became known that the second fight of Yan and Sterling will take place on October 30 in Abu Dhabi at UFC 267.
