Petr Yan
Wants to fight: [autotag]Aljamain Sterling[/autotag]
The callout: “I think Aljamain Sterling deserves to fight for the title. He’s on a good streak. He beat a lot of good guys.”
The reality: Dana White may not have been totally committed to the idea, but for [autotag]Petr Yan[/autotag], Aljamain Sterling the clear and obvious choice for his first title defense.
Sterling arguably should have fought for the title already and, in terms of achievements in the bantamweight division, certainly held stronger title credentials than the man Yan just stopped, Jose Aldo.
Sterling should really have been the man facing Yan on “Fight Island” but after Yan dispensed with the UFC’s hand-picked contender, it’s time for the top contender to get his deserved shot.
The big question is, does the UFC agree?
