Russian heavyweight Alexander Emelianenko spoke about the upcoming rematch between the UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling and the owner of the time zone Petr Yan.
The meeting of these fighters will take place on the night of April 10 at UFC 273 in Jacksonville.
“The second fight between Jan and Sterling is very interesting. Petr has been showing quality fights, excellent training for many years and is rightfully the UFC champion.
To be fair, Sterling was given the first title fight with Peter not for his beautiful eyes - you should not greatly underestimate him. Although I believe that Sterling and Kharitonov graduated from the same theater school.
The first fight showed that Peter was two heads superior to Sterling. I am sure that the second fight will follow the same scenario, because a pretending and simulating fighter will never win in a fair fight with such a spirited fighter as Petr Yan, ”quotes Emelianenko Match TV.
Recall that in March last year, Yan lost to Sterling by disqualification due to a prohibited knee strike and lost his belt.
