Former interim and undisputed bantamweight champion, Petr Yan is set for his return to action at UFC Fight Night Abu Dhabi, taking on the surging 10-1 contender, Marcus McGhee on July 27. from the Etihad Arena in the United Arab Emirates.
Yan, who currently holds the number two rank at the bantamweight limit, has been sidelined since he took main event honors at UFC Fight Night Macau, landing a hard-fought unanimous decision win over former flyweight king, Deiveson Figueiredo.
As for the surging number thirteen ranked McGhee, the bantamweight upstart most recently turned in a unanimous decision win over the returning Jonathan Martinez at UFC 309 back in November of last year at Madison Square Garden.
