Petr Yan vs. Aljamain Sterling isn’t happening! Well, for now, at least.
Yan explained why UFC needed to delay the fight for “about a month and a half.” “There were different problems, with the flight, with the visa, during training I flew away for a visa deadline, lots of factors,” Yan said on Instagram Live (via RT Sport). “We decided with the team to move everything to next year, perhaps the card will be more suitable.”
