Matt Serra is confident that not only will Aljamain Sterling become the new champion, but he’ll reign the division for a long time Sterling (19-3 MMA, 11-3 UFC) challenges bantamweight champion Petr Yan at UFC 259 , which takes place Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and early prelims on ESPN+ . Yan (15-1 MMA, 7-0 UFC) has been on a stellar run since joining the UFC roster in 2018, taking out legends Urijah Faber and Jose Aldo back-to-back to win the title. He only has one career blemish which happened in 2016, a loss he later avenged. Serra knows the kind of fight they’re in for and had nothing but high praise for the champion
