MOSCOW, Apr 14 American MMA fighter, reigning UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling criticized the head of promotion Dana White for saying that in his second fight against Petr Yan, the Russian should have won. The fight took place on April 10 and ended with the victory of the American, who defended the UFC bantamweight title, by a split decision. After the fight, Yang said that the judges «stole» the victory from him and demanded another rematch. «Dana White will always slander my name. I think Ian was so highly appreciated that everyone was shocked by what the grappler did to him. Especially after the first fight «White probably thought that I had no chance of winning this fight either. It sucks to be him right now: maybe he really was interested in Jan winning this fight, and I interfered in their plans,» quoted Sterling bjpenn.com. «We always had good conversations, but when it comes to fights, White doesn't like grapplers like that, unless you're Khabib Nurmagomedov,» the American added.
