Petr Yan has no interest in a rematch with Aljamain Sterling even if he beats Cory Sandhagen to capture the interim bantamweight title at UFC 267 this Saturday.
Yan says it is Sterling who has to prove himself worthy of the rematch despite ‘Funk Master’ beating ‘No Mercy’ via DQ to win the belt in their bantamweight title bout at UFC 259 earlier this year.
“Sterling needs the rematch to prove that he can do something. For me, I’m not interested in the rematch if I win the belt this Saturday,” Yan told MMA Junkie ahead of his interim title bout with Sandhagen on Saturday.
