A fight between two UFC bantamweights who are on very different paths in their MMA careers is being planned for UFC 245 in December, as Urijah Faber is set to take on Petr Yan.
ESPN first reported the news. “The California Kid” had previously shown interest in a fight against current 135-pound champion Henry Cejudo, however a fight with Yan was never something that was talked about, and comes somewhat out of the blue.
Faber (35-10) defeated Ricky Simon in just 46 seconds when they fought in the co-main event of UFC Sacramento in July.
