UFC 6 winner Oleg Taktarov shared his thoughts in an exclusive interview with Telecomasia.net about the upcoming fight between Russian fighter Petr Yan and American Marcus McGhee at UFC on ABC 9 in Abu Dhabi (UAE).
Oleg Taktarov exclusively for Telecom Asia Sport
Honestly, I don't really know who McGhee is. I know that Dana White and his colleagues have tried to rewrite UFC's history and have made huge financial investments. I don't understand what they want to do with Petr. There are two options: either to build him up beautifully for a title shot, or to fade him out so they can let him go. Yan’s fate is in his own hands. I don't know what’s going on in Dana and his colleagues’ heads.
For reference, UFC on ABC 9 will take place on July 26. Throughout his MMA career, Yan has earned 18 wins and five losses, while McGhee holds a record of ten wins and one loss.
