“I would immediately say that I want to fight Petr Yan, even though he suffered several defeats,” the American said in the next edition of the MMA Hour program. “Also, I’m not averse to having a rematch against Chito Vera”
“A fight with Chito or with Yang is going to be huge. And I definitely don’t want to fight anyone below me in the rankings again. Whatever happens, I’ll be ready. Looking forward to the name of the opponent. I hope it will be Peter Yan. Going up against him in Boston would be insane.”
Former UFC bantamweight champion Petr Yan suffered his third consecutive loss in March, losing a five-round unanimous decision to Merab Dvalishvili. Prior to that, the Russian lost by split decisions to Aljamain Sterling and Sean O’Malley.
