Petr
\nYan<\/a> wants to avenge his loss against Sean
\nO’Malley<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Yan suffered a controversial split-decision loss against O\u2019Malley
\n(19-3) in their first outing in 2022. O\u2019Malley went on to win the
\nbantamweight title in his next outing and defended it only once
\nbefore losing it to Merab
\nDvalishvili<\/a>. Meanwhile, Yan went through the trenches for a
\nchance to reclaim his title and dethroned Dvalishvili at
\nUFC 323<\/a> this past December. <\/p>\n

Dvalishvili claims he has been guaranteed an immediate rematch
\nagainst Yan. While Yan acknowledges that Dvalishvili is likely to
\nget the next title shot, he isn\u2019t counting out O\u2019Malley, who
\nrecently returned to the win column with a victory over Yadong
\nSong<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Yan believes he was robbed in his first loss against O\u2019Malley. \u201cNo
\nMercy\u201d wants a chance to avenge his loss at the White House in
\nJune. Yan suggests that \u201cSuga\u201d should color his hair like the
\nAmerican flag to better his chances for a spot on the White House
\ncard.<\/p>\n

Red, White and Blue<\/h2>\n

\u201cI know they potentially promised the rematch to Merab, but really,
\nit\u2019s whoever,\u201d Yan said on “The Ariel Helwani Show.\u201d<\/a> \u201cI know Sean O\u2019Malley
\nwas talking about it as well. He said that he wants to fight at the
\nWhite House\u2026 I\u2019m definitely keeping Sean O\u2019Malley in mind because
\nit makes sense for an American to be fighting on the White House
\ncard. So, I think what Sean
\nO’Malley<\/a> should do is potentially recolor his hair into an
\nAmerican flag. That would make it easier for him to fight at the
\nWhite House. I’m considering that to be a fight if he’s going to be
\nready for it. I’m happy to do it because that last fight, that was
\na poor decision by the judges.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dvalishvili (21-5) claimed that a White House matchup against Yan
\n(20-5) is unlikely, as the champion is Russian. Yan believes sports
\nshould transcend politics, especially with a global organization
\nlike the
\nUFC<\/a>. <\/p>\n
