Nemkov: "I don't know why people don't believe in Sterling"

Bellator Light Heavyweight Champion Vadim Nemkov shared his expectations from the upcoming fight between Aljamain Sterling and Petr Yan.

“Of course, an interesting confrontation, I would like Peter to win beautifully, ahead of schedule and confidently. Nobody believes in Sterling - it's dangerous to treat him like that. The main thing is that Petya tunes in to a tough fight and everything is fine in terms of psychology. I don't know why people don't believe in Sterling so much. Probably because of how the first fight went. However, the American is still dangerous - there will be no easy walk, ”R-Sport quotes Nemkov.

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.
