Russian mixed martial artist (MMA) Pyotr Yan defeated American Corey Sandhagen at UFC 267 in Abu Dhabi. The broadcast was conducted on the REN TV website.
The fight became the co-main fight of the evening. The fight ended in five rounds by unanimous decision. The Russian won the interim UFC bantamweight title. After the fight, Yang thanked the fans for their support and called his opponent a worthy warrior.
Initially, Ian’s rival was supposed to be UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling. However, the American withdrew from the fight, citing health problems.
Jan lost his championship belt in March. The Russian lost to Sterling by disqualification. He struck a forbidden blow to the head of a lying opponent and lost the title.
Now Jan has 16 wins and two losses in MMA. Sandhagen has 14 wins and four losses.
