UFC 259: Sterling wants to use reach advantage to beat Yan

The Hindu  

Finally, the 'Funk Master' Aljamain Sterling will get a shot at the Bantamweight Championship during Saturday's UFC 259, seven years after his Ultimate Fighting Championship debut. His opponent at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas will be the ruthless Petr Yan, who will make his first title defence. Yan, currently holding a 15-1 MMA win-loss record and 7-0 in UFC, had defeated former featherweight champion Jose Aldo to claim the vacant belt at UFC 251 on the Fight Island during July 2020. 1 contender Sterling was ranked higher than Yan, and several experts associated with the sport felt the former could have possibly been part of the fight for the top prize in the division.
