Former UFC bantamweight champion Petr Yan in an exclusive interview with Telecomasia.net evaluated Aljamain Sterling's chances in a possible bout against Alexander Volkanovski.

I think if Volkanovski gets full training camp, Aljo won't be able to do anything to him. And if Alexander doesn't practice at all, then, again, something can happen - some incident or someone will take better advantage of their position. But I don't think Sterling can beat Volkanovski with a full camp.
As a reminder, Sterling lost his bantamweight title at UFC 292 in August, losing by technical knockout in the second round to Sean O'Malley. Prior to this fight, Aljamain had intended to move up a category and fight Volkanovski for a belt unification. Sterling has 23 wins and four losses on his record.
