Keeping an eye on the intention of aljamain sterling migrate to the featherweight category (up to 65,7kg.), Petr yan went ahead and analyzed his tormentor's chances of winning a second title in the organization. Whereas Alexander Volkanovsky will remain on the throne, the Russian was pessimistic when imagining the possible triumph of 'Funk Master' over the current champion.
“Sterling vs. Volkanovski? I think that if Volkanovski trains like he usually trains, Aljo won't be able to do anything. I'm sure of that. If Volkanovski doesn't train, if he goes there unprepared, it will be a matter of chance. Someone might just get the position to win at some point. But if Volkanovski trains, I don’t think Sterling can beat him”, declared Petr in an interview with 'Meta MMA'.

Soon after, 'Funk Master' challenged Max Holloway to fight in March, but has not been responded to so far.
