So, the leading bookmakers offer to bet on Yan to win with a coefficient of 1.25. The similar figure towards Sterling is 4.20.
Last March Yan lost to Sterling by disqualification due to a prohibited knee blow and lost his belt. The rematch was scheduled for October 30 at UFC 267, but the American withdrew from the fight due to injury. As a result, the Russian fought for the interim title with Cory Sandhagen, winning by unanimous decision.
