Aljamain Sterling and Petr Yan are going to compete in a title unification bout at the co-main event of UFC 273. These two fought for the first time at UFC 259, and after dominating Sterling for over 4 rounds, he hit him with an accidental knee that cost him the belt.

Sterling became the first champion in the history of the UFC to become the champ by disqualification. He was embarrassed by the way he won the belt, and his teammates forced him to pose with the same. It started a whole new world of sledging for Sterling. Fans blasted him for taking pride in his ‘fake belt’ and after a point, Sterling just stopped caring.

Yan called him a man without respect, and the rivalry between these two kept on growing. Yan has been waiting to get his hands on Sterling, and while talking to the media during the UFC 273 medical scrum. He issued a pretty bold statement about his team when asked what he’ll do if he comes across his team at the athlete hotel. He said, “If we see his team, we kill [all his] team. Right now, not Saturday.”

Aljamain’s corner was extremely pissed off by this, but the Funk Master is curious to see what happens if they actually see them, he said, “I have not seen him, I honestly kinda want to see him just to see what would happen. I’m calm, cool, collected, so I go off the energy he’s gonna bring. If he thinks it’s gonna be on, I’m ready. I’m more than ready. I’m ready now and I’m ready Saturday. If you really wanna do something, I’m right here. I’m in the same hotel as you… you can find me. If you want, I can give you my room number.”

Yan is a dangerous individual for sure, but Sterling is surrounded by a group of killers as well. Merab Dvalishvili was ready to have a go at Yan’s team, and he said they’d made a big mistake by saying something so outrageous. Ilia Topuira had a friend in Yan’s corner and he was hoping they would do nothing.
