A string of controversial decisions for Petr Yan

All was going great for Petr Yan at UFC. ‘No Mercy’ had won the vacant Bantamweight title after defeating Jose Aldo. Just in the next fight, he faced Aljamain Sterling at UFC 259. The fight ended with disqualification after some alleged ‘illegal knees’ by Yan. Some fans and pundits believe that the knee strikes did not deserve disqualification.

Yan faced Sterling for a rematch at UFC 273. Sterling won the match yet again, this time via a split decision. A major portion of the MMA community believed that the 30-year-old had won that match. The same happened in his next match against Sean O’Malley when the decision went in O’Malley’s favor.
