MOSCOW, Aug 4. UFC champion in the bantamweight division Aljamain Sterling talked about the high-profile fight between Peter Yan and Sean O'Malley. The American, who twice defeated the Russian (by disqualification of the opponent and a separate decision of the judges), said that footwork would help his compatriot in battle.
" , who will win. But I can give O'Malley advice. Jan is annoyed by good footwork. It's hard for Peter to fight against fighters who move well and don't stand in front of him and land a single punch. In addition, O'Malley needs to use his reach and avoid direct punches to the body. One gets the feeling that Sean is a bit soft in the torso area", — the YouTube channel The Schmo reports Sterling's words.
The fight will take place on October 22 at UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi (UAE).
