MOSCOW, Jan 12 American fighter Aljemein Sterling insulted Russian Peter Yan after the news on the postponement of their fight. On Tuesday, the UFC announced that the fight between Ian and Sterling will not take place on March 5, as previously announced. Later, the Russian fighter wrote on Twitter that the promotion had postponed the fight to April 9.
& # 34; You're delusional if you think I'm trying to postpone our fight. Stop tickling my genitals, which I will drop on your face on April 9! You can say whatever you want. It will only be funnier when I pee on your face & # 34 ;, — Sterling tweeted.
In their first fight last March, Ian lost the promoted bantamweight title after being disqualified for a prohibited knee kick in opponent's head. The Russian has 16 victories in 18 fights, Sterling scored 20 victories at the professional level with three defeats. At the end of October, Ian became interim UFC champion, defeating fellow US representative Corey Sandhagen by unanimous decision.
