Ian on Sterling rematch: 'I'm going to break that clown'

Interim UFC Bantamweight Champion Petr Yan reacted to the official announcement of a rematch against Aljamain Sterling.

“April 9, there will be sparks in Florida. I'll break this clown!" - Ian wrote on Instagram.

Recall that in March last year, Yan lost to Sterling by disqualification due to an illegal knee strike and lost his title. The rematch was scheduled for October 30, but the American dropped out due to injury. As a result, the Russian fought for the temporary belt with Corey Sandhagen, winning by unanimous decision.
