Interim UFC Bantamweight Champion Petr Yan spoke about support of his family at UFC 267 in Abu Dhabi, where he defeated Cory Sandhagen by unanimous decision.
“It was very cool. I haven't seen them for almost 2 months during preparation. Before the battle, we weighed ourselves in the morning, began to recover, eat, drink, the mood came. And then Julia arrived with Daniil (wife and son, - ed). It was a thrill, a new charge for me.
"The wife has already been to the UFC tournament in Moscow once. In general, children are allowed to events from the age of 12, and Danka is 5. We talked, the UFC let him through. But he is so, fighting, already understands. He had a desire: if I fight Sterling, then go out and kick him.
"I told him that it is not necessary. He replied that he wanted to too. And in Abu Dhabi, he took offense at me. We stand in the cage after the fight, he says he wants to kick Sandhagen. I said: “It’s impossible, I have already piled on him, everything is fine,” Yan said in an interview with the Hands Above YouTube channel.
