LONDON – Petr Yan ’s American Top Team coach Marcos DaMatta thinks his fighter was robbed against Aljamain Sterling at UFC 273. Despite UFC bantamweight champion Sterling’s extensive ground control time against Yan (16-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC) in their rematch in April, DaMatta thought Yan won three of five rounds. One judge scored the fight for Yan, and the other two in favor of Sterling (21-3 MMA, 13-3 UFC) for the split decision win . The judges agreed on the scoring of every round except the opening frame, which was awarded to Sterling by two of the judges Coach “Parrumpa,” however, argues Yan had the better moments in the round. “I feel that he won the fight,” DaMatta told MMA Junkie.
