Petr Yan has reacted after booking a fight with Sean O’Malley at UFC 280.<\/p>\n

It was announced that UFC 280 will feature a bantamweight bout between Petr Yan (16-3 MMA) and Sean O’Malley (15-1 MMA) on Saturday, October 22, 2022 in Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n

Yan, 29, is the former UFC bantamweight champion and is currently ranked No. 1 in the promotional rankings.<\/p>\n

Petr Yan will be entering the Octagon having recently lost by split decision to Aljamain Sterling<\/a> (21-3 MMA) in April of this year at UFC 273.<\/p>\n

Sean O’Malley, 27, is coming off a no-contest match-up with Pedro Munhoz (19-7 MMA) in July of this year at UFC 276.<\/p>\n

O’Malley, not hiding his excitement, spoke about the upcoming battle with ESPN’s ‘DC & RC’:<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so excited for this. I almost can\u2019t even believe it\u2019s real, it\u2019s happening.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Continuing on who will win, ‘Sugar’ stated:<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe I\u2019m better than Petr at what we\u2019re going to do, and that\u2019s f****** fighting. I\u2019m better than Petr, and I truly believe that. And I think that\u2019s what is going to get the job done. I\u2019m going to go in there more prepared than Petr, I\u2019m going to go in there and just do what I do. Obviously putting Petr\u2019s lights out would be massive, but I just need to go in there and get the job done against Petr Yan. Three five-minute rounds.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the best dude I\u2019ve ever fought, hands down, and I\u2019m very excited for the opportunity. And I just believe I\u2019m going to be better October 22nd than Petr.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Taking to ‘Twitter<\/a>‘, Petr Yan, a man of few words, tweeted:<\/p>\n

https:\/\/twitter.com\/petryanufc\/status\/1550086929760362496<\/p>\n

“My 👊🏼👊🏼 will do the talking”<\/em><\/p>\n

So there you have it – the fight is on. Do you believe O’Malley will be able to defeat Yan in the Octagon this October?<\/p>\n
