The time has come for the long-awaited rematch between aljamain sterling e Petr yan. And the bantamweight champion is willing to prove that he can perform better than in the first confrontation, when he won due to an irregular blow but was being dominated in the fight. The North American responded to a follower on his Twitter, promising to dominate the owner of the interim belt and remain the absolute king of the bantamweight division (up to 61,2kg).

“It's fascinating how terrified humans are of trying to excel in life. Your fears are not mine. Your shitty thoughts and opinions are not mine either. I will win and I will dominate. Half of you thumb pushers will never relate to the confidence in the work you put in. Enjoy the show,” Sterling wrote.

The first confrontation between the two fighters took place in March 2021, at UFC 259. In a duel that he won with some ease, Petr landed an illegal knee on Sterling who was unable to continue the fight. The Russian was disqualified and the North American was declared the new bantamweight champion.
