Dana White believes the judges got it wrong in ‘Sterling vs. Yan 2’, but says TJ Dillashaw is likely next

Tonight’s UFC 273 co-main event went the distance as Petr Yan and Aljamain Sterling battled it out for five straight rounds. After a back and forth opening round, ‘Funkmaster’ went on to dominate rounds two and three. However, after surviving multiple rear-naked choke attempts, Petr Yan stormed back to win the final two rounds of the fight. In the end, two judges saw the contest in favor of Sterling, who retained his title by split decision.

Dana White was asked what he thought of ‘Yan vs. Sterling 2’ during tonight’s UFC 273 post-fight press conference.

White believes the judges got it wrong in Sterling vs. Yan, he had it 3-2 for Yan.

White thinks that the trilogy with Yan will always be there and thinks that Sterling vs. Dillashaw should be next.
