Petr Yan on facing Henry Cejudo and TJ Dillashaw
At the moment, you’re undefeated in the UFC but did not get a chance to fight Henry Cejudo before he retired. Do you look at that as something you missed out on, and would you like to fight him if he ever returned to the Octagon?
He ran away, so I don’t think about him at the moment. If he decides to come back I can retire him again.
TJ Dillashaw is currently serving his 2-year ban. When he returns, do you see a possible fight against him? What do you think of his ban?
He accepted his ban and admitted he was cheating. I wish I could beat the juiced-up version of TJ, but now he will probably have to follow rules so it will be even tougher for him.
