“Trilogy 2023”, wrote Sterling on his social network.
The rematch between Sterling and Yan has been surrounded by controversy since its scheduling. In the first duel, in March 2021, the North American was declared the winner after the Russian was disqualified for an illegal knee. The former champion accused the 'Funk Master' of exaggerating and lying when saying that he was unable to return to the octagon.
In the second duel, which took place on the 9th, Sterling and Yan fought a very balanced duel, which was decided down to the details. At the end of 15 minutes, the North American unified the bantamweight belt by emerging victorious in a tight split decision from the judges.
