JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Petr Yan might not be willing to wait until UFC 273 to throw down with Aljamain Sterling, but that attitude doesn’t go both ways.
During Wednesday’s media day, Yan (16-2 MMA, 8-1 UFC) said he’s ready to “kill” Sterling (20-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC) and his whole team prior to Saturday’s bantamweight title unification bout at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and ESPN+.
Sterling found those comments to be utterly amusing, and expressed how he’s just fine with waiting until it’s a sanctioned scrap where both men will get paid for their physicality.
