LAS VEGAS – UFC president Dana White is looking to book the rematch between Aljamain Sterling and Petr Yan right away. Sterling (20-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC) became the first fighter in UFC history to win a title by disqualification after taking an illegal knee from Yan at UFC 259 in Las Vegas. Sterling was hit with a knee to the head in the fourth round while he was a downed fighter and as a result, Yan (15-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC) was disqualified. Due to the unusual and unfortunate ending to the fight, White thinks an immediate rematch has to happen. “Yeah, as soon as possible,” White told reporters, including MMA Junkie, at the post-fight news conference
