Team Aljamain Sterling respond to Petr Yan’s threat of fight week run-in ahead of UFC 273

Team Aljamain Sterling is unbothered by Petr Yan and his threat of a run-in before Saturday night.

The upcoming rematch serves as the co-main event of UFC 273, where Sterling and Yan share the Octagon again for the bantamweight championship. Given how their first fight at UFC 259 ended, the rivalry between the ‘Funk Master’ and ‘No Mercy’ has only intensified, and that was on full display during their appearances at media day on Wednesday afternoon.

When asked what would happen if he ran into Sterling ahead of the fight, Yan sent a stern warning to him and his whole team.
