UFC Bantamweight Champion Petr Yan continues to exchange jabs on social media with his next challenger, Aljamain Sterling. True, this time the American did not even try to trick the Russian, but still ran into his tough answer.
On his Twitter page, Aljamain Sterling decided to wish Petr Yan a happy birthday, which he celebrated yesterday, February 11th.
“Happy Birthday, brother!!!” – wrote Sterling.
Petr clearly did not like this familiarity of the future opponent.
“The Tambov wolf is your brother,” the Russian fighter replied.
Тамбовский волк тебе брат ? https://t.co/W5M4GqYvFk

Earlier Petr Yan posted a controversial video, which refers to a black homeless man, calling him “Alja”. This video did not go unnoticed by Sterling, and Aljamain posted it on Twitter, accompanied by an ironic comment.
Lmfao damnn Pull-Out Pete got jokes?!
