A potential bantamweight barnburner is now right back on track.
After Douglas Silva de Andrade was forced to pull out of his September 15 bout against Russian prospect Petr Yan at UFC Fight Night 136, ESPN’s Ariel Helwani reported on his Twitter that the fight has been booked again, but for UFC 232.
A rising prospect in the bantamweight division, Petr Yan (10-1) will try for his third straight Octagon win, after already defeating the likes of Jin Soo Son and Teruto Ishihara in his last couple of bouts. The 25-year-old’s only loss happened in March 2016, when Yan was bested by Magomed Magomedov via split decision.
