UFC interim bantamweight champion Petr Yan is allegedly in need of cornermen and Sean O’Malley has appeared to agree to help out.
It was reported by multiple outlets earlier this week that members of Yan’s corner were denied visas to travel to the U.S. for UFC 273. Yan will face bantamweight titleholder Aljamain Sterling in a title rematch about a year in the making.
After news broke of Yan’s situation, he reached out to retired former UFC double champion Henry Cejudo to help out.
“Hey coach [Henry Cejudo] what are your plans on April 9th?” Yan asked.
Cejudo has yet to respond to Yan’s request.
Just hours after Yan reached out to Cejudo on social media, O’Malley recorded a video in which he appeared to agree to help corner Yan for his upcoming fight.

“One corner spot is taken by [Sean O’Malley],” Yan responded.
Yan earned the interim title over Cory Sandhagen at UFC 267 after Sterling withdrew from their originally scheduled rematch due to Sterling’s health issues. The rematch was postponed a second time for UFC 273 after the UFC 272 booking fell apart for conflicting reasons.
Yan lost via disqualification to Sterling at UFC 259 after landing an illegal knee late in the fight. Before the infraction, Yan had taken control of the fight and had appeared to be on his way to a successful title defense.
O’Malley and Yan share a bit of history from a distance. Among other interactions, O’Malley has predicted that a fight with Yan down the line would be the biggest fight in UFC bantamweight history.
Despite Yan searching for help from Cejudo, the two have gone back-and-forth on social media over the past couple of years. Yan has questioned the timing of Cejudo’s retirement while Cejudo has previously teased coming out of retirement to fight him.
Cejudo has recently teased a UFC comeback and threw his name into the conversation to fight Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 273. However, the UFC opted to go with Chan Sung Jung (aka The Korean Zombie) instead of Cejudo.
Yan hasn’t had any visa issues ahead of UFC 273 and it appears that his cornermen are the only ones impacted by recent traveling challenges.
What do you think about Sean O’Malley volunteering to corner Petr Yan At UFC 273?

Former two-weight UFC champion, Henry Cejudo, and streaking bantamweight contender, Sean O’Malley have both offered to serve as cornermen for interim division champion, Petr Yan at UFC 273 – as the Dudinka native faces potential issues assembling a corner for the April 9. event.
Slated to co-headline UFC 273 next month in a championship title unification bout against former-foe, Aljamain Sterling, reports emerged from TASS yesterday, detailing how members of Yan’s corner for the event had been denied VISAS to travel to the United States, but are set to reapply.
With the situation regarding Yan’s corner for the event currently fluid, TASS reporter, Igor Lazorin suggested prominent mixed martial arts coach and former undisputed lightweight champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov would step in and corner his compatriot, Yan at the event.
While Khabib has yet to offer his services, both the aforenoted, O’Malley and Cejudo have offered to make an impromptu corner for Yan at UFC 273 in his title unification rematch with Sterling.
“Petr (Yan), heard you need a corner, bro,” Sean O’Malley posted. “Let me know, I’ll be in (Las) Vegas – or wherever the f*ck your fight is. Let me know and I can corner you baby, one-two, one-two.”
“One corner spot is taken by @SugaSeanMMA (Sean O’Malley) (dog emoji),” Petr Yan tweeted.

In his first matchup with Sterling back in March of last year, Yan suffered his first promotional loss in the form of a fourth round disqualification after he landed a knee to a grounded Sterling – resulting in a title loss.
Returning back in October of last year at UFC 267 on ‘Fight Island’, Yan clinched the interim bantamweight title with a unanimous decision victory against Cory Sandhagen.

UFC bantamweight titleholder Aljamain Sterling and former champ Petr Yan are back at it again on social media ahead of their rematch.
Sterling and Yan will finally meet in their highly-anticipated bantamweight title rematch at UFC 273. This comes nearly a year to the day of their first matchup when Sterling earned the belt via disqualification after Yan landed an illegal knee late in the fight.
In a recent tweet, Sterling roasted Yan for how he’s handled the loss in their first fight last year.
In order to grow you need to accept your losses like a man. The first step in the process of healing is accepting your short-comings.
In other words, bro, you lost!— Aljamain Sterling (@funkmasterMMA) March 16, 2022
“In order to grow you need to accept your losses like a man,” Sterling said. “The first step in the process of healing is accepting your short-comings. In other words, bro, you lost!”
If recent history was any indicator, it didn’t take Yan long to respond to Sterling’s banter. He responded by attacking how Sterling handled his controversial win over him at UFC 259.
“At least I didn’t (lose) my dignity like you,” Yan replied. “I can envision yourself crying after our next fight again. I will beat the living shit out of you dog. Looking forward to your healing process.”
While Yan fired back in a big way, it was Sterling that would get the final word for now, making a play on words on Yan’s first name.
“The only tears I’ll be shedding are for your funeral, after I body bag you April 9th for the world to see,” Sterling responded. “You “Betr” show up!”
The rematch between Sterling and Yan was supposed to take place on multiple occasions in 2021, but the fight was moved due to various circumstances. Sterling has been battling injuries over the last few months and appears fully recovered and ready for his rematch with Yan.
After Sterling pulled out of their originally scheduled bout at UFC 267, Yan would fight and defeat Cory Sandhagen for the interim bantamweight title. Before his controversial loss to Sterling, Yan earned the then-vacant title over José Aldo at UFC 251.
We are just weeks away from the Sterling/Yan rematch and fans can expect plenty of banter back-and-forth between these two top 135-pounders.

UFC bantamweight champion, Aljamain Sterling has claimed that the only tears he will shed against arch-enemy and interim champion, Petr Yan at UFC 273 next month – will be when he “body bags” the Dudinka native in their title unification re-run.

UFC bantamweight champion, Aljamain Sterling has claimed that the only tears he will shed against arch-enemy and interim champion, Petr Yan at UFC 273 next month – will be when he “body bags” the Dudinka native in their title unification re-run.
Sterling, who attempts to successfully unify the bantamweight titles on April 9. in the co-main event of UFC 273, also attempts to shut the proverbial door on a longstanding rivalry with the Russian technician.
Becoming the first champion in promotional history to lift an Octagon title via disqualification, Sterling was met with a fourth round illegal knee by Yan whilst he was deemed to b a grounded opponent during their initial matchup at UFC 259 last March.
In the time since, Sterling has undergone invasive surgery to address a neck injury stemming from his amateur wrestling days – failing to obtain medical clearance to compete at UFC 267 in October as a result of a surgical procedure.
As a result, a ‘Fight Island’ title rematch with Yan was shelved, with the Dudinka native instead tackling and overcoming common-foe, Cory Sandhagen on short notice at the event to mint himself as the interim division champion in Sterling’s absence.
In the run-up to the pair’s title merger on April 9. – Sterling and Yan had traded multiple barbs on social media, only fueled by the former this evening, resulting in another back-and-forth between the rivals.
“In order to grow you need to accept your losses oike a man,” Aljamain Sterling tweeted, accompanied by a gif of Petr Yan. “The first step of the process of healing is accepting your short-comings. In other words, bro, you lost.”

Garnering a response from Yan, the Russian striking ace claimed that he would “beat the living sh*t” out of Sterling at UFC 273.
“At least I didn’t lose my dignity like you,” Petr Yan tweeted. “I can envision yourself crying after our next fight again. I will beat the living sh*t out of you dog. Looking forward to your healing process.”
Sterling then replied to Yan’s own response, claiming that he would only be shedding tears at Yan’s “funeral” at UFC 273, claiming he would leave the interim titleholder in a “body bag”.
“The only years I’ll be shedding are for your funeral, after I body bag you April 9th for the world to see,” Aljamain Sterling tweeted. “You ‘Betr’ show up!”
According to reports from Igor Lazonin from Tass Agency, Petr Yan’s entire corner has been denied a visa to enter the United States (as tweeted by Bruno Massami). Per Lazonin, “visa request of all corners of Petr Yan was denied from US government.” The Russian fighter has a 3 year US visa and is allowed […]
According to reports from Igor Lazonin from Tass Agency, Petr Yan’s entire corner has been denied a visa to enter the United States (as tweeted by Bruno Massami).
Per Lazonin, “visa request of all corners of Petr Yan was denied from US government.” The Russian fighter has a 3 year US visa and is allowed to enter the country for UFC 273. In light of the situation, Lazonin suggested the possibility of Khabib Nurmagomedov replacing Yan’s team to help his fellow countryman.
‘No Mercy’ is determined to settle the rivalry with Aljamain Sterling once and for all at UFC 273 on April 9 in Jacksonville, Florida. The interim champ will look to solidify his status as the bantamweight champion after their last bout resulted in a controversial win for ‘The Funk Master’ via disqualification.
Yan was cruising to a win against the champion at UFC 259 (up 29-28 on scorecards for two judges) when he ended up losing the fight by disqualification. In the fourth round, Yan landed an illegal knee to Sterling’s head when he was down which gave the latter the win.
Khabib Nurmagomedov stepping in to help corner Petr Yan is an interesting solution given his success as a coach since his retirement. Although Yan will be confident ahead of the bout, not having his cornermen for the unification bout is surely a blow for the interim titleholder.
Sterling hasn’t fought since their last bout as he underwent neck surgery after the win while Yan went on to claim the interim strap against Cory Sandhagen at UFC 267. He has only lost twice in a stellar record of 16-2, with his first loss avenged against Magomed Magomedov in 2017, a year after their first bout.
Entering the bout as the betting favorite, Russia’s first UFC 135 pound champion will look to avenge his second loss and unify the belts to reclaim his throne at bantamweight this April at UFC 273.
