“Morning session complete! I will continue to demand my body and rehabilitate my neck. (Cory) Sandhagen will end the Petr yan in two rounds. An epic rematch will take place in December or early 2022. Let them compete for second place while I make sure my nervous system is fully healed. Make all the jokes you want, I've done a lot in this sport and I'm not finished yet! #AndStill”, wrote the champion.

Without Sterling on the card that will be held in Abu Dhabi (UAE), the UFC decided to create a fight for the division's interim belt. To face Petr yan, the organization chose the North American Cory Sandhagen. The show will be held on October 30th and its main fight will be a duel for the light heavyweight title (up to 93kg) between Jan Blachowicz e Glover Teixeira.
