• New UFC Champion Crowned Via Disqualification At UFC 259 (VIDEO), New Champion Throws The Belt Down
At tonight’s UFC 259 pay-per-view, UFC Bantamweight Champion Petr Yan delivered an illegal knee strike to Aljamain Sterling’s head.
This resulted in a disqualification and Aljamain was crowned the new champion via DQ.
UFC Commentators are speculating that Aljamain got concussed due to this illegal strike. They also said that Yan did this on purpose as Aljamain was ahead on the points table.
You can watch the illegal strike below:
Aljamain refused to take the Title after the fight and dropped it in the Octagon after Dana White gave it to him. His team later picked it up.
