Former UFC lightweight champion Petr Yan talked about his plans for the future.

"I probably don't care about being a king or anything. I think it's arrogant to call myself that. Of course, I'd like to get my belt back, make some solid defenses. I'd like to retire from professional sports by the time I'm 30. Maybe, I'll open my own sports schools, will be engaged in this direction, to promote children's sport in Russia, so that children were engaged for free, that it was accessible," the fighter said.
