Interim UFC Bantamweight Champion Petr Yan reacted to a photo of his closest rival Aljamain Sterling with Ukrainian flag.
“I look at his past statements, smiles, posing with the Ukrainian flag. He tried to mix our fight with politics.
Yes, I think he didn't want me to be here in the USA. Now that I'm here, he knows that it's all over for him, ”Mirror quotes Jan.
The fight between Sterling and Jan 2 will take place on the morning of April 10 at UFC 273 in Jacksonville. Recall that in March last year, Yan lost to Sterling by disqualification due to an illegal knee strike and lost his title.
