“If we see the Sterling team at the hotel, we will beat them all. Right now, not on Saturday,” Yana quotes MMA Mania.
Sterling vs. Jan 2 will be the co-main event of UFC 273, which will take place on the night of April 10 in Jacksonville.
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.
