Two people with knowledge of the situation informed MMA Junkie on Thursday that contracts have been issued to Yan (15-1 MMA, 7-0 UFC) and Sterling (19-3 MMA, 11-3 UFC) for March’s UFC 259 event, elevating the fight card to three championship bouts. The people requested anonymity because the UFC has yet to make an official announcement. UFC 259 takes place March 6
