Interim UFC Bantamweight Champion Petr Yan announced that he would fly to the fight against Aljamain Sterling alone, without a team.
“The fundraising is still ongoing. I will be in Thailand for about 10 days, after which I will fly to America. Kairat and Andrei, with whom I am preparing for battles, could not get visas. They were denied the embassy. Therefore, I don’t know yet who will be in my corner. This is very important and it is of great importance who is in your corner, who is second, who prompts, who leads. It's a shame that the boys won't be able to fly, but the fight is principled, and I need to fly and win. Even if I have to fly alone, I will fly alone.”
