Conor McGregor is not one to shy away from the spotlight. ‘The Notorious’ is famous for his epic Twitter rants that do not spare anyone in the MMA community. Most recently, the likes of Jorge Masvidal, Petr Yan, among others, were the target.

Petr Yan is widely regarded as one of the best strikers in the UFC at the moment. ‘No Mercy’ marches forward continuously and meticulously breaks down his opponents on the feet. He recently won the interim bantamweight belt after a unanimous decision win over Cory Sandhagen, who is also an exceptional striker. 

Many still consider Yan the rightful champion of the division given he lost his belt via DQ. The majority of the MMA fan base believes that ‘Funkmaster’ exaggerated the injury in order to win the belt. Now that Yan has secured the interim belt, a unification bout between the two men is imminent.
