'I get to punch a guy I don't really like.' Even before the fighting at UFC 273 in Jacksonville on Saturday night, the battle of words has already begun for these fighters.
The tension, which has boiled over on social media, springs from the lingering memories of the first edition of Sterling vs. Yan.
"Right now, all my thought is just about taking this belt back," the Russian said through a translator. Saturday's fights mark UFC's third visit to Jacksonville. The series arrived for three nights of fighting in May 2020, the first major athletic event to resume in the United States after the initial shutdown during the coronavirus pandemic, and returned for UFC 261 last May, which was the nation's first full-capacity indoor event in a major professional sport since COVID-19's arrival.
