Yan remarked that he isn\u2019t as privileged as Umar when it comes to his brothers and sisters.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;No Mercy&#8217; is fresh off a unanimous decision victory over Marcus McGhee at UFC Abu Dhabi last weekend. Meanwhile, Umar hasn&#8217;t stepped inside the octagon since his loss to bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 311 in January earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>During a recent interview with Ushatayka on YouTube, Yan was asked whether he would be interested in fighting Umar next. In response, the former UFC bantamweight champion said:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, Umar lost his last fight. He hasn&#8217;t had a single fight since. They have the option to wait and not train at all. It could be for a year, six months. I need to act, to work, to pave the way for myself with my labor. Neither my brothers nor my sisters have given me anything.&#8221;                            <\/p>\n<p>Get the latest updates on One Championship <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/mma\/one-championship-rankings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\" class=\"bottom_tagline_link\" data-tab=\"top\">Rankings<\/a> at Sportskeeda and more<\/p>\n<p>Check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/petr-yan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Petr Yan<\/a>&#8216;s comments below (via @ChampRDS on X):<\/p>\n<p>When Khabib Nurmagomedov was shocked to see Petr Yan lose against Sean O&#8217;Malley<\/p>\n<p>After losing his bantamweight title to Aljamain Sterling at UFC 259 and failing to reclaim it at UFC 273, Petr Yan faced Sean O&#8217;Malley at UFC 280. In a hard-fought three-round battle, O&#8217;Malley was declared the winner by split decision.<\/p>\n<p>However, Khabib Nurmagomedov was shocked by the fight&#8217;s result, as he believed that Yan won every round of the match. &#8216;The Eagle&#8217; said:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Split? How? How? No, how? How is it possible, brother? I swear I gave him every round. It was close, but he won every round.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Check out Khabib Nurmagomedov&#8217;s reaction below:<\/p>\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p>\nCancel<br \/>\nSubmit\n<\/p>\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" data-lazy=\"\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" data-lazy=\"\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<p>About the author<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"author-pic\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,&lt;svg width=\" height=\"100\"\/>&#8221; data-lazy=&#8221;https:\/\/keedag.sportskeeda.com\/user-pic\/5413077-1750769967-200.jpg?w=200&#8243;<br \/>\nalt=&#8221;Nilaav Gogoi&#8221; height=&#8221;72&#8243; width=&#8221;72&#8243;&gt;<\/p>\n<p class=\"author-bio\" id=\"author-bio-text\">\nA budding sports management professional, Nilaav Gogoi covers MMA at Sportskeeda.
