Can Aljamain Sterling make a statement against Petr Yan at UFC 267?
‘Funkmaster’ Aljamain Sterling captured the UFC’s bantamweight belt against Petr Yan at UFC 259. It is safe to say that the manner in which Sterling won the belt has not gone down well with the fans. ‘Funkmaster’ has been subject to relentless criticism from fans for ‘acting’ and ‘taking the easy way out’ during his fight against Petr Yan.
Sterling admitted that he felt he was behind on the scorecards. However, he did not see the illegal knee as a way to take the win. ‘Funkmaster’ insists that the severity of the strike was such that he could not continue anymore.
Having fought each other for the better part of four rounds, both Sterling and Yan have a good idea of what the other fighter brings to the table. A rematch gives both men a good chance to make the required changes to secure a win a few weeks from now in Abu Dhabi.
