Ian said whether he is ready to back up the O’Malley – Vera fight

Former UFC Bantamweight Champion Petr Yan stated that he would not mind becoming a reserve fighter for a title fight between the current belt holder Sean O'Malley And Marlon Vera, which will take place at UFC 299 next March.

“I just want to compete in this tournament. If someone gets injured from the O’Malley-Vera fight, would I agree to replace them? Of course,” Yang said at a press conference.

Let us remind you that Yan has not appeared in the Octagon since March, when he lost by a devastating decision to Merab Dvalishvili.
