Report: Yan vs. McGhee booked for UFC Abu Dhabi

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.
