UFC Hall of Famer Matt Serra won’t be leaving Aljamain Sterling ’s side. Serra, Sterling’s longtime coach, last week opened up about his disappointment in Sterling’s decision to not include him in his corner for his UFC 259 title fight against Petr Yan. Serra was replaced by Xtreme Couture coach Eric Nicksick, who worked with Sterling in Las Vegas ahead of the fight. The decision prompted Serra to step away from cornering fighters, which drew speculation on a potential rift between him and Sterling, who claimed the UFC bantamweight title after Yan was disqualified for an illegal knee. But Serra took to Instagram to clarify that he and Sterling will continue working together as they always have.
