Fighter from the “Archangel Michael” club, **Ilyas Hamzin**, commented on the upcoming bout involving his teammate, former UFC bantamweight champion **Petr Yan**, who is set to face American **Marcus McGhee** on July 26 in Abu Dhabi at the UFC on ABC 9.

“I’m thrilled that Petr is making his return. No Mercy is ready to go. We can expect another spectacular fight. It’s going to be a hard-fought match. As for the opponent, he’s older but very strong and large; you know he absorbs all the hits and can deliver powerful strikes. He has pressure and experience—he’s a tough fighter. The fact that Petr is ranked fifth while his opponent is 15th means little. Petr is a warrior, and he demonstrates this by being willing to fight anyone, regardless of who they are.

He stated that he doesn’t want to sit idle; he wants to fight. Such a mindset is characteristic of champions. That’s why he’s not picky or waiting; he’s ready,” Hamzin shared during a conversation with Championship correspondent Alexander Frolov.
