Jan: "I won't shake hands with Sterling"

Interim UFC Bantamweight Champion Petr Yan declared that he would not shake hands Aljamain Sterling before the upcoming fight.

“No, I won’t shake hands. We have no enmity, just personal disrespect. That's it," Yang said.

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.
