Surging bantamweight Petr Yan was hoping his highlight reel knockout of Urijah Faber at UFC 245 would catapult him into title contention, but divisional champ Henry Cejudo has other plans.
‘Triple C’ seems more interested in defending his bantamweight title against Jose Aldo despite ‘Scarface’ losing to Marlon Moraes in his 135-pound debut earlier this month.
Yan, who is on a nine-fight win streak and ranked #3 in the official UFC bantamweight rankings, blasted Cejudo for cherry picking opponents.
The Russian says he lost all respect for Cejudo since ‘The Messenger’ started his campaign for the Aldo fight after UFC 245.
