Jan: O'Malley win should give me a title shot

Former UFC Bantamweight Champion Petr Yan expressed confidence that the victory in the upcoming duel with Sean O'Malley guarantees him another title shot.

Recall that the fight between Yan and O'Malley will take place on October 22 at the UFC 280 tournament in Abu Dhabi. As part of the same event, the reigning bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling will defend the title against encroachments by T.J. Dillashaw.

“I think beating O'Malley should give me a title shot. If T.J. becomes the champion, we will have a high-profile fight for MMA fans. If Sterling retains the belt, we will have the opportunity to complete the trilogy.

For me, there is only one goal - the championship fight. Who will be the champion - Sterling or Dillashaw? I don't care. I will smash anyone, ”quotes Yan MMA Fighting.
