He doesn&#8217;t want to defend his belt against a real number one contender,&#8221; Petr Yan said to BJPENN.com through his translator Sayat Abdrakhmanov. &#8220;He wants to fight someone with zero wins in 135 division and on a two-fight losing streak, and far from the peak of his career. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">UFC<\/a> shouldn\u2019t support this behavior if they want to keep any significance to that belt. Honestly, it will be bad for the sport.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Yan also has a hunch why Cejudo has not mentioned his name once. He believes the champ doesn&#8217;t want to fight him because he knows he would lose the belt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;He is a triple clown who is trying to turn our sport into a circus. He knows I\u2019m a terrible matchup for him,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;That\u2019s why he is trying to avoid fighting me.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, if Petr Yan does not get the next title shot against Henry Cejudo, he is fine taking another fight. But he says he will never ask for a fight against someone coming off a loss as Cejudo has been.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;I love to fight and I\u2019m willing to fight anyone deserving. It doesn&#8217;t matter if I have to clean out division before or after I win the belt,&#8221; Yan said. &#8220;One thing you can know for sure, I&#8217;m not gonna ask for someone who just lost the fight.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Do you think Petr Yan deserves the next crack at Henry Cejudo?<\/p>\n<p><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.com<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 12\/23\/2019.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Petr Yan is not a fan of Henry Cejudo, to say the least.
