Main Card
Petr Yan
Known as “No Mercy” in the right, Sean O’Malley has come a long way with his career and is 16-3-0. Petr Yan dropped his last battle against Alijamain Sterling back in April via split decision. Yan is still the No. 1 contender and he is all set to take on his opponent.

The 29-year-old fighter is desperate to get on top of his last defeat and make it past O’Malley. However, this is not going to be an easy battle for Yan.
Sean O’Malley
Sean O’Malley has been the crowd favorite for a while but he was also criticized for fighting the lower ranks. Malley holds an incredible 15-1-0 record and he is ranked as the No 11 contender. O’Malley is undefeated in his last four fights and he came off some impressive victories.
O’Malley is quick and he has some great power as well, but Yan is not going to let this fight slip away and he is way ahead of O’Malley in the ranks. O’Malley will need to prove himself with a victory here and this will be a stepping stone in his career. It is good to see O’Malley take on some fighters with higher rankings after all.
