UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling can’t understand how the judges didn’t award him a big round for his dominant control of Petr Yan . Sterling (21-3 MMA, 13-3 UFC) defeated Yan (16-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC) by split decision this past Saturday at UFC 273. He was able to take Yan’s back for the majority of both Rounds 2 and 3. The judges ended up scoring those rounds 10-9 in favor of Sterling, and the champion thinks not only should he have at least been given one 10-8 score, there’s no way Yan won Round 1 – despite what John McCarthy and others say .
