American Sterling became the first UFC fighter to be crowned champion via disqualification when Petr Yan lost due to an illegal knee in the bantamweight title bout last month.

Physicians "told me I will heal in three months and can start doing cardio to get myself ready," ESPN quoted Sterling as saying.

"The faster I heal up, the faster I can fight.
