Sean O’Malley: Petr Yan is ‘probably one of my favorite fighters to watch in the UFC right now’

Sean O’Malley has nothing but praise for Petr Yan following his hard-fought unanimous decision victory against Cory Sandhagen at UFC 267.

Yan put on a technical masterclass in the UFC 267 co-main event to clinch the interim bantamweight title but many fans consider the Russian fighter the true champion of the division.

O’Malley looks forward to fighting Yan for the belt someday and admits ‘No Mercy’ is one of his favorite fighters to watch in the UFC right now.

He’s probably one of my favourite fighters to watch in the UFC right now,” O’Malley said on a recent episode of the TimboSugaShow (h/t Jordan Ellis of Low Kick MMA).
