O’Malley revealed that he will face Petr Yan at UFC 280, which takes place on October 22 in Abu Dhabi, on ESPN’s DC & RC. A source familiar with the promotion’s operations told MMA Fighting that although contracts haven’t been released, the fight has been verbally agreed upon.
If accepted, it will be Yan’s first fight since failing in his attempt to reclaim the undisputed UFC bantamweight title at UFC 273 in April, where he lost by split decision. After losing the championship to Sterling at UFC 259 in March 2021 by being disqualified for an illegal knee, Yan won the interim title against Cory Sandhagen at UFC 276.
