It has been a while since Aljamain Sterling and Petr Yan have been firing shots at each other on Twitter. The way their last fight ended and the manner Sterling became the champion has led to a lot of bitterness. Fans, too, have been debating about their previous fight.

The fighters were hoping for a rematch soon. However, it kept getting delayed. Fortunately, the anticipated bout will happen soon. The Sterling-Yan fight will most likely take place at UFC 273 in April. The event has other interesting fights as well. But because of the bad blood that Yan and Sterling share, it is going to be one of the biggest fights at the event.

Further, while taking a dig at Yan on Twitter, Sterling accused him of using prohibited performance-enhancing substances and also called him ‘Chetr’ in several tweets.

It looks like Yan wanted to show his opponent and fans that he has nothing to be afraid of. Therefore, recently he tweeted a brief clip of his USADA test in progress. Sharing the video, he wrote, “Anytime, anywhere 💪 #USADA”. 

Thus, when the results clear out that ‘No Mercy’ is clean, it would be interesting to see what Sterling has to say about it.

Watching the bantamweight champion and the interim champion clash in the ultimate unification bout will be exciting. It would give both the fighters an opportunity to shut their naysayers.

How did Petr Yan lose his title?

The Russian fighter defeated Jose Aldo at UFC 251 and became the new bantamweight champion. Next, he faced Aljamain Sterling at UFC 259 for his first title defense. However, Yan landed an illegal knee to Sterling’s head and got disqualified. As a result, Sterling became the new champion.
