With that in mind, unsurprisingly revealed that he'll look to avoid grappling exchanges with the Russian fighter. During an interview with The Schmo, 'Sugar' acknowledged that Yan is a top-notched grappler on top of being a lethal striker. O'Malley, who is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, said it would give him satisfaction to choke Yan out. But if he can have his way, he'd rather trade strikes with 'No Mercy'. "I would get the same satisfaction choking out Petr Yan [as knocking him out] but I definitely I just see this being a sweet kickboxing match," O'Malley said. "I've said that since the fight's been announced. Aljamain's grappling is extremely high level and for Aljo to take Petr's back and have that defense shows how good Petr is with being able to defend Aljo from choking him." Watch Sean O'Malley discuss his fight against Petr Yan below: O'Malley and Yan will meet on the main card of UFC 280 on October 22 at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. It will be the first time O'Malley fights somebody ranked in the top 5 of the UFC's divisional rankings. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by David Andrew × Feedback Thank You!
