Yan says UFC doesn't want a 'Fake Champion' Headlining

The feud between the two men holding pieces of the UFC bantamweight title continues to rage on.

On Tuesday, the new date of the highly-anticipated rematch between champion Aljamain Sterling and interim champion Petr Yan was confirmed to be set for UFC 273 in April, a change from a previously settled date at UFC 272 in March.

Sterling (20-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC) recently stated the delay was due to Yan’s personal reasons and not being vaccinated for COVID-19. However, Yan (16-2 MMA, 8-1 UFC) claimed that is not true as he is vaccinated and ready to fight now, while citing a completely different reason for the change in date, which prompted a back-and-forth exchange on social media Tuesday evening.

Damn, Sterling talking a ton of shit for a dude that got his ass thoroughly beatdown and quit when he found an easy path to winning via DQ. Not sure where he thinks the next fight is going to go differently because he had NOTHING for Yan but a target.
