Aljamain Sterling accuses UFC CEO Dana White of having an interest in Petr Yan’s victory
American mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter Aljamain Sterling criticized the head of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Dana White for supporting the Russian Petr Yan. His words are quoted by BJ Penn.
“Dana will always slander my name, that’s what he does. I think he appreciated Jan so much, he is such a dangerous guy, and when the grappler in my face defeated him, White was shocked, ”the American explained. In his opinion, the head of the promotion let emotions take over. Sterling concluded that White was very interested in Jan’s victory.
Earlier, the head of the UFC announced a judicial error in the duel between Jan and Sterling. “I think the judges failed in their decision,” White said. The functionary stressed that, according to his estimates, the score should be 3-2 in favor of the Russian.
The duel between Ian and Sterling took place on the night of April 10 in Jacksonville. The American won a split decision victory and defended the UFC bantamweight title. After the fight, Yang claimed he was “robbed” and demanded a rematch.
