Petr Yan versus Marcus McGhee has been added to the UFC Abu Dhabi Fight Night event on July 26, sources told MMA Junkie's Nolan King.
Yan, the third-ranked bantamweight, hasn't stepped into the Octagon since defeating Deiveson Figueiredo via unanimous decision in November. It was the former bantamweight champion's second straight victory following a three-loss skid during which he lost his championship title. Yan, 32, has a 10-4 record overall in the UFC.
Meanwhile, McGhee, the No. 13 bantamweight, is 4-0 in the UFC. The 35-year-old has a 10-1 record in MMA, including six straight victories and eight knockouts.
A middleweight bout between Robert Whittaker and Reinier de Ridder is set to headline the Etihad Arena showcase. It's also scheduled to feature a light heavyweight fight between Nikita Krylov and Bogdan Guskov, as well as Asu Almabayev and Ramazan Temirov facing off in a flyweight bout.
