Aljamain Sterling became the UFC Bantamweight Champion after scoring a fourth round DQ win over Petr Yan at UFC 259.

UFC President Dana White is looking to book the rematch between the two and he wants to get it done quickly.

“Yeah, as soon as possible,” White said at the UFC 259 post-fight press conference (via MMA Junkie). “Aljo went to the hospital, he’s cleared. Nothing wrong with him.”

Sterling did make UFC history at the event, as he became the first fighter to win a UFC championship via disqualification.

White says that a meeting being held tomorrow could help determine when the rematch will happen.

“Tuesday we’ll get together and we’ll figure out where that fight fits because Sterling wants the rematch, too. They both want the rematch, we gotta do the rematch. We’ll figure it out,” says White.
