UFC bantamweight champion Petr Yan has made a big fight on next summer’s UFC White House card.
Earlier this month, Petr Yan surprised many by defeating Merab Dvalishvili to become a two-time UFC bantamweight champion. It was an incredible performance from ‘No Mercy’, to the point where many are calling it one of the most impressive wins of the year. Looking ahead, however, it’s not clear what exactly is next for Yan at this point in his mixed martial arts career.
Petr Yan has a number of potential opponents to face, with Dvalishvili arguably top of the list once he returns and fully recovers from his defeat at UFC 323. There are a few big fights coming up that could also determine who is next, with Sean O’Malley and Umar Nurmagomedov being big possibilities if they can get through their respective challenges against Song Yadong and Deiveson Figueiredo.
In a recent one post on social mediaPetr Yan heavily teased the idea that he wants to fight Sean O’Malley in a rematch at the White House.

The image shows Yan and O’Malley together in the cage outside the White House, the venue for next summer’s big event. There’s certainly no guarantee that O’Malley will be able to get through Song, but if he does, and succeeds quite convincingly, this is the kind of big fight the UFC would love to put on such a big card.
Yan has earned the right to have a say in who he faces and if the stars align, there’s no denying it would be the most profitable for virtually everyone involved.
