Russian UFC fighter petr yan in a conversation with , he admitted that he had no fundamental desire to hold a third duel with Aljamain Sterling .
According to the former UFC bantamweight champion, Sterling will lose to TJ Dillashaw.
Jan, 29, who sits at the top row of the UFC bantamweight rankings, has 16 wins with three losses. In the last fight in April, the Russian lost to the organization’s champion, American Aljamain Sterling, by split decision. These same fighters met in March 2020 when Yang lost by disqualification. Jan on October 22 in Abu Dhabi on the UFC 280 tournament card will face American Sean O’Malley. As part of the same tournament, Sterling will defend the UFC bantamweight belt against Dillashaw.
– I have no fundamental desire for revenge (on Sterling). It seems to me that there have been so many in my professional career. Now there will be a Dillashaw fight against Sterling. I’ve always been interested in Dillashaw and I’m leaning towards Dillashaw winning. I don’t think it was our fault that the fight between Sterling and Dillashaw was postponed (UFC 280 pay-per-view – Approx. ed.). I think there were reasons for that. Usually two title fights are held in Abu Dhabi for the mass character, for the overall tournament. But I think our fight with O’Malley is much more global, more interesting, and they will talk about it and expect it more than some kind of title fight,” said Yan, whose comments were provided by the the team’s press department in particular. for “Archangel Michael”.
The former UFC champion suggested what scenario the fight between Sterling and Dillashaw could unfold.
– Sterling’s task is to try to “ride a bike” from a distance, score points, shoot a little, get it. Dillashaw is also always pushing forward, putting the pressure on. I think he’s just going to run somewhere, defend himself, bide his time. To take their own position,” Yang added.
