Russian mixed style fighter (MMA) Petr Yan, during a press conference posted on the YouTube channel RCC: MMA & Boxing, spoke about a fight with Irishman Conor McGregor.
The athlete felt that first, McGregor should take his proposal seriously, after which he will begin to restore his boxing skills. “Guys, this whole story is just talk. But if Conor wanted to box, I would go against him. The difference in weight we have with him does not matter, ”he stressed.
On November 12, McGregor disagreed with the rating that Ian has the best striking technique among the UFC fighters. He promised to “break” it at a personal meeting. In response, the athlete said that he was ready to fight an Irishman in any weight category and in any format.
On October 30, Ian defeated American Corey Sandhagen by unanimous decision to secure the interim UFC bantamweight belt. The Russian lost the championship title in a duel with Aljamein Sterling in March. Then Yang lost by disqualification, inflicting an illegal knee blow to the head of a lying opponent.
