Yan gave a tough prediction for his fight with Sterling

Interim UFC Bantamweight Champion Petr Yan promised to knock out the owner of a full-weight belt Aljamain Sterling, with whom he will fight on the morning of April 10 at UFC 273 in Jacksonville.

"I will destroy Sterling. Last time he cried. This time he won't cry - I'll send him to sleep. Aljo was already tired of thinking about me, while I did not remember him at all. He had a long downtime, and I remained active. Now he is my next target, which I am going to destroy, ”Yang said on The MMA Hour.

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.
