Now with no controversy, Aljamain Sterling became the undisputed bantamweight champion at UFC 273. In a title unification bout against interim champ Petr Yan, the ‘Funkmaster’ used his grappling prowess to nullify his opponent’s striking and did enough to convince two out of three judges. On Twitter, pro fighters reacted to the match.
