Aljamain Sterling says Merab Dvalishvili has the blueprint for defeating Petr Yan.
Yan is on a two-fight losing streak, coming up short against Sterling and Sean O’Malley in his recent Octagon appearances. For the reigning UFC bantamweight champion, those performances are the perfect guides for Dvalishvili to follow in his upcoming fight.
“For this, Merab needs to make sure he fights his pace of fight,” said Sterling on his official YouTube channel. “Slow him down by taking away his offense with his shots, his punches, his unorthodox striking that he just throws some wild stuff sometimes to keep Yan guessing.
