ONE heavyweight champion Arjan Bhullar is willing to help Petr Yan get out of the UFC.
âNo Mercyâ is fresh off his showdown with Sean OâMalley at UFC 280 last Saturday. The bout was a back-and-forth one, however, many fans felt that Yan did the better work. Despite that, it was âSugarâ won the contest by a split decision after 15 minutes of action.
The result shocked many, including names such as Khabib Nurmagomedov and Henry Cejudo. However, nobody was more shocked than Yan himself. In the days following the contest, the former bantamweight champion bashed the judges and promotion on social media.
The result mightâve upset the Russian so much, that he might be on his way out of the UFC. Fighter-turned-commentator Daniel Cormier revealed earlier this week that Yan might want to leave the promotion due to feeling that the promotion doesnât have his back.
In the event that âDCâ is correct, itâs likely the UFC wonât let Petr Yan go without getting something back. That âsomethingâ, could be ONE Championship heavyweight titleholder Arjan Bhullar. That is if the UFC would be willing to do business with the Asia-based promotion.
The American Kickboxing Academy talent took to Twitter to offer himself as potential trade bait for the UFC. Bhullar, who just captured the ONE Championship heavyweight title last April, stated that for the right price, heâd leave the promotion.
In the event that Arjan Bhullar heads to the UFC, it would be his second stint with the promotion. He left the company in 2019, sporting a 3-1 record in the promotion. The move clearly worked out, as Bhullar has gone undefeated in the ONE cage since.
If a possible UFC-ONE trade occurs, it wouldnât be the first time. In 2018, the two promotions swapped former champions, Demetrious Johnson and Ben Askren. The trade seemingly worked out for both sides, as âMighty Mouseâ and âFunkyâ both had high-profile bouts in their new homes.

Yan is worth a lot more than that.
Yan vs DJ would be ridiculous though.
Maybe Yan for Reinier de Ridder + Bhullar + Buchecha + a couple more.
Great Example !
No thanks. And thatâs a hard no and a soft thanks.
The UFC HW division is in desperate need of new blood
Petr Yan would dominate in ONE. The judges would have zero chance of fucking him over there
Trade Dillashaw and Yan for the HVY champ and Bucheca
