Dillashaw predicted that the Russian ace in Yan would come out as the clear winner in the fight against his rival. He also talked about how beating Yan would go a long way in significantly adding to his legacy. Yan is primed to be a massive entity in the sport and he will in the spotlight for years to come.
“I’d prefer Yan. You know I think he’s the better of the fighter. He’s more dangerous, he’s better. He’s just all round better for my legacy to beat Petr Yan. You never know what’s going to happen tonight. I highly think Yan is going to win and I think that that’s the best fight to make for me.”
Petr Yan has shown that he can be the very best when he gets going and he’ll want his championship belt back to put a stamp on his legacy. He has an opportunity to ensure that fans never consider Aljamain Sterling when it is all said and done.
However, defeating Sterling would be easier said than done and all eyes will be on Sterling to see if he can defeat the favorite in decisive fashion.
