UFC interim lightweight champion Petr Yan talked about his future career plans.
- Who do you think is your main competitor in the division right now?
- There are a lot of worthy guys, opponents. I told you, I never choose. They offer me a fight, I say, "Anybody, send me a contract, and let's go."
- What will you do if Sterling pulls off another rematch?
- That's more a question for management. I beat him once. He's running now. Dillashaw chats about the legitimacy of my title and he's a cheater caught himself. I'd like to beat him," Ian said at the press conference.
On October 30 at UFC 267 in Abu Dhabi, Yan defeated Corey Sandhagen by unanimous decision. The Russian was originally scheduled for a rematch with reigning champion Aljamain Sterling, but the American withdrew from the fight due to injury.
