Joshua Van Open to Petr Yan UFC Superfight

Flyweight king Joshua Van has expressed interest in a potential cross-divisional matchup against bantamweight champion Petr Yan. Van, who cites Yan as a stylistic influence, discussed the prospect during an appearance on the Outta Pocket with RGIII podcast.

Currently, the 25-year-old Van is preparing for a title defense against Manel Kape at UFC 336, following recent victories over Alexander Pantoja and Tatsuro Taira. Meanwhile, Yan is focused on his own division after consecutive wins against Merab Dvalishvili, with upcoming obligations against Sean O'Malley and Song Yadong.
