Aljamain Sterling predicts 1 takedown to beat Petr Yan, who advises ‘plan bicycle’ when that fails

UFC bantamweight champ Petr Yan and No. 1 contender Aljamain Sterling continue to trade shots in advance of their UFC 259 meeting.

The latest round of online sparring got started when Sterling posted a training pic flexing about his conditioning in advance of the March 6 pay-per-view at UFC APEX in Las Vegas.

Yan quickly shot back his own prediction for the fight’s length, and off they went.

I just need one takedown. Fathers plan. Trust me, I’ve taken down bigger men then you with strong wrestling.
