Sterling vs YAN:
After winning the belt by disqualification roughly 13 months ago, Aljamain Sterling put some criticism about his legitimacy as bantamweight champion to rest on Saturday, he unified the bantamweight title with a tactical win over Petr Yan.
Sterling (21-3) relied on his grappling early and held off a late rally by Yan (16-3) in the championship rounds, Funk Master’s grappling carried him to the first three rounds on two of the three judges’ scorecards and led him to defend his Bantamweight title via split decision (48-47, 47-48, 48-47).
