Russian mixed-style (MMA) fighter Pyotr Yan got into a squabble with Aljamein Sterling on social media. An American posted the exchange of comments on his Twitter.
The Russian left a comment with the text “clowns” on the photo of Sterling with the UFC champion belt and Georgian fighter Merab Dvalishvili. Yang then posted this photo on his Instagram, noting that the American was fine.
Sterling responded by offering to unexpectedly punch Yana in the temple with his knee and see who would then be the clown. The American also said that at the time of the stoppage of their face-to-face fight, according to statistical indicators, the fight was equal.
On the night of Sunday, March 7, Ian missed the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) belt due to disqualification. In the fourth round, he hit Sterling with a knee to the head while the opponent was in a prone position. The fight was stopped, and the American was declared the winner.
Yang suffered his first defeat in the UFC. The Russian missed the bantamweight champion belt.
