Matt Serra has no doubt that Aljamain Sterling can beat Petr Yan at UFC 259 and start his reign over the bantamweight division.
Sterling is hoping to spoil Yan’s initial title defense as bantamweight champ in the first of three title fights at UFC 259 this weekend. “Funk Master” has won his last five fights at 135 pounds, the most recent being a submission win against Cory Sandhagen.
Speaking to MMA Junkie ahead of UFC 259, Serra was full of praise for Sterling.
“I think he’s ferocious,” Serra said.
