Michael Bisping doesn’t like Aljamain Sterling’s chances at UFC 273 if he can’t take down Petr Yan

UFC Hall of Famer Michael Bisping thinks Aljamain Sterling is in for a long night at UFC 273 if he can’t get Petr Yan down to the mat.

Sterling, the UFC bantamweight champion, rematches interim champ Yan in Saturday’s UFC 273 co-main event, which takes place at Vystar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Fla. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and early prelims on ESPN+.

Their first fight in March 2021 ended abruptly after Yan struck Sterling with an illegal knee to lose his title to Sterling by disqualification. However, leading up to the end of Round 4, Yan was starting to takeover, landing one knockdown and seven takedowns.
