Sterling saddened by Ngannou's decision

Current UFC Bantamweight Champion Aljamain Sterling commented on the decision Francis Ngannou leave the promotion and leave the heavyweight championship belt vacant.

“Actually, I am saddened by this news. I want to say that in this situation, both sides screwed up. I think Francis needs the UFC to continue his ascent. People know who he is, but I think to get to the next level, he had to beat Jon Jones. There is no doubt about this. Ngannou is leaving, but how much money can he make in other promotions? The question is also, can he get a fight with Tyson Fury? Of course, if the fight takes place, then it's good for him, because Francis will be able to earn big money, ”said Sterling.
