UFC 259 is undoubtedly one of the most-sought after Pay-Per-Views marquee matches and is watched by a myriad of people from all over the world. But this time, the headlines are grabbed for some off-field reasons.

Aljamain Sterling might have waited long to contest in the championship belt, but that hasn’t stopped him from taking a dig over micro-blogging platform, Twitter. His fiery chat with Petr Yan before their game has hogged the limelight and this has amused a lot of fans.

A take to the Twitter banter between Aljamain and Yan

The lead-up to this banter panned out after Aljamain posted a gym video session, to which Yan replied that the contest would not be going till Round 5. This was of course in response to a derogatory post of Yan, targeting Aljamain.

Both the fighters are extremely talented and passionate about their sport. They are legends of the 135-pound division and it is extremely tough to call out a winner ahead of their contest. Yan, who is a great grappler is currently at 15-1 and has had a ten-match winning streak so far. On the other hand, Sterling is sitting at 19-3 and has five wins in a row under his belt. His defense is immaculate and striking is exceptional. All of this makes him a fiery opposition. Indeed, a fiery and exciting match is up for grabs!
