Coach Tim Welch believes Petr Yan will have a hard time getting to Sean O’Malley . O’Malley (15-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) faces Yan (16-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC) on the main card of UFC 280 on Oct. 22 in Abu Dhabi. Former bantamweight champion Yan is undoubtedly O’Malley’s toughest test on paper, but Welch doesn’t think the odds are reflective of how the fight will pan out. Yan will be at a big height and reach disadvantage against O’Malley, which Welch sees his star pupil capitalizing on very effectively. “We train with super elite people,” Welch told Submission Radio.
