MOSCOW, Oct 26 Russian Petr Yan may leave the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) ) and move to another promotion, said former UFC heavyweight champion American Daniel Cormier. On Saturday at UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi, Yan lost a split decision to American Sean O'Malley. «He is very disappointed with the referee's decision. I heard that he may consider offers from other promotions because he does not feel support from the UFC,» Cormier said on the ESPN MMA YouTube channel. Petr Yan is 29 years old, he has 16 wins and four losses. Prior to UFC 280, he lost twice to American Aljamain Sterling. The first time he lost the bantamweight title to him due to a disqualification for an illegal strike, the second defeat Yang suffered a split decision. Between fights against Sterling, the athlete defeated Corey Sandhagen of the United States by unanimous decision in a fight for the interim title.
