“Great men and a good fight. I scored 48-47 for (Petr) Yan. You won the first battle! Rest and enjoy the work you've done. See you soon,” wrote Sterling, in his 'Twitter' official.
Current bantamweight champion, Sterling won the belt in controversial fashion. The two athletes faced each other in the UFC 259, in March of this year. In the fourth round of the fight, the North American suffered an illegal knee from the Russian and was unable to continue the fight. After the accident, Petr was disqualified from the fight, which gave the victory and the world title to the 'Funk Master'.
And, with a new victory for Petr yan – this time against Cory Sandhagen, the rematch between the athletes must, in fact, be scheduled. In fact, the fight would be held in UFC 267, but the American was forced to withdraw due to a complication with his neck injury.
