Aljamain Sterling vs. Petr Yan full fight video

Watch Aljamain Sterling against Petr Yan in full fight video. This is the famous first encounter between Sterling and Yan at UFC APEX.

Sterling was awarded a UFC 259, title shot, but it wasn’t what anyone expected from him or his opponent champ Yan.

Yan won two of three rounds on two judges’ scorecards when Yan committed a foul by kneeing the downed Sterling. Yan was eventually disqualified after Yan kneed Sterling. That made Sterling the first UFC champion to win via disqualification.

More than one year after that fateful day, the bantamweight rivals meet again to settle the score. They were originally set to meet at UFC 267, but a lingering neck injury forced Sterling to withdraw from the event, and the rematch was eventually moved to UFC 273, which takes place Saturday at VyStar Veteran’s Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Fla.
