AMC Fight Nights President Kamil Gadzhiev talked about the upcoming fight between Russian Peter Yan and Aljamain Sterling at UFC 273 in Jacksonville (USA).
“If someone thinks Peter expects an easy ride, then I will disagree. Sterling will be better prepared. The second challenge is more fundamental than the first. Peter’s advantage will be noticed in the final laps. Guess? I think Peter will win ahead of schedule closer to the fourth round, ”says Hadzhiev “Sport Express”.
The main fight of the evening in the UFC 273 tournament, the encounter between Jan and Sterling will take place on the night of April 10. Yan already faced Sterling in March 2021 and lost the championship belt to him due to disqualification.
