“I fought both fighters,” the Russian said in a video posted on social media. “I think Sterling can win by disqualification in this fight, and Sean O’Malley, if he doesn’t win on his own, the judges will win for him.”
Ian also addressed the title clash directly.
“You guys wait! I’m checking out!”,” the former UFC champion wrote, noting the Americans.
Recall that Peter Yan lost by disqualification to Aljamain Sterling in their first fight, and the Russian lost to Sean O’Malley by split decision, accusing the judges of stealing the win from him.
