Former UFC bantamweight champion Petr Yan again entered into verbal conflict with Mohammad Kheibati, better known by the nickname "Persian Dagestani". It happened at the recent Hardcore tournament. Kheibati himself turned to Yan, stating that he would come to the UFC and would fight him at 145. In response, Yan stated that he was fighting at 135 and added the following: "Listen, when the dog licks his balls, the lion is watching."
Mohammad replied that he would talk to Yan like a man when he arrived at the training camp in Thailand. Yan didn’t reach into his pocket for a word: “If you were a man, you would have said this being there, and not now on internet. Go lick the balls."
