Petr Yan and his manager are making it known that the rising contender should have the chance to become a UFC champion soon.

While doing a recent interview, Daniel Rubenstein, Yan’s manager stated while talking with MMA Junkie that his fighter is down for an interim title bout with Aljamain Sterling:

“At this point, Petr has fought five times, five wins, in under 12 months. No one has ever done that in the bantamweight division of the UFC.

“I feel Petr has earned his title shot at Henry, but with Henry being out for the rest of the year, if the UFC wants to do an interim title vs. Sterling, Petr is more than happy to oblige.”

This would make sense as both fighters are near the top of the division and Yan is currently on an eight-fight winning streak. He has a 5-0 record under the UFC banner. Yan is fresh off a win over Jimmie Rivera on June 8 at UFC 238 by unanimous decision.

The UFC could have to create an interim bantamweight title due to the fact that UFC flyweight and bantamweight champ Henry Cejudo will likely miss the rest of 2019 due to shoulder surgery.

Both fighters have been calling for a title shot since the UFC 238 pay-per-view (PPV) event. At this show, Sterling beat Pedro Munhoz by unanimous decision. With both men wanting the same thing, and a champion not being available, this would be a logical move.

UFC bantamweight contender Petr Yan is not lacking in confidence whatsoever.

The Russian enjoyed a unanimous decision win over Jimmie Rivera at UFC 237 this past weekend. It extended his hot streak to five straight wins since debuting in the UFC last year. He wasn’t the only bantamweight in action on the night either. Aljamain Sterling defeated Pedro Munhoz via unanimous decision in a pivotal 135-pound clash while Henry Cejudo became the bantamweight champion following his TKO win over Marlon Moraes.

Many now believe Sterling should be Cejudo’s first bantamweight title defense, however, Yan was not impressed with his performance. In fact, he went as far as saying he would defeat both fighters on the same night.

“I watched (Aljamain) Sterling’s (win over Pedro Munhoz), and with all due respect, I was not impressed at all,” Yan said at the post-fight press conference. “I would beat him and the champion (Henry Cejudo) in one night.”

Yan Wants Two Belts As Well

Following his win over Moraes, Cejudo called out the likes of Dominick Cruz, Cody Garbrandt and Urijah Faber. Yan would naturally like the next title shot, but is willing to wait and see what the UFC decides.

As for his thoughts on Cejudo’s choice of callouts? Here’s what he had to say:

“I don’t know, maybe he just wants to fight the old guys,” Yan added. “I’m young, hungry, 26 years old, and I’m eager to take this opportunity to fight for the belt. I want to have two belts on my shoulder too.”

Whatever happens when it comes to Cejudo’s first title defense, there’s certainly bound to be some unhappy fighters.
