UFC Bantamweight Champion Aljamain Sterling spoke about his attitude towards the upcoming rematch with the holder of the interim title Petr Yan. Their fight will take place on April 9 at UFC 273 in Jacksonville.

“People talk about reputation and career, but I don't think so. At the end of the day, my resume and legacy speaks for itself, whether people think it's the main thing or not.

Let's remember my other victories, early finishes of the fight and submissions. Let's remember how I put up with other guys.

I just need to go out there and showcase everything I've worked so hard on,” Sterling said.
