Former Interim UFC Bantamweight Champion Petr Yan arrived in the USA for a rematch with the full title holder Aljamain Sterling.

“Just arrived in the USA. Aljo's prayers were not heard," the Russian tweeted.

Sterling vs Jan 2 will take place on April 9 at UFC 273 in Jacksonville.

Recall that in March last year, Yan lost to Sterling by disqualification due to an illegal knee strike and lost his title.
