Petr Yan Pushes Russian Teammate as Late Replacement for Ateba Gautier at UFC 320

With Ozzy Diaz out due to medical issues, Gautier is left without an opponent for Saturday’s prelim headliner. “My friend Ilyas Khamzin is in Vegas and ready,” Yan posted, promoting his teammate on a three-fight win streak as a potential substitute. Gautier, who has six first-round finishes, last stopped an opponent in 70 seconds at UFC 318, while Khamzin (14-4) has yet to make his UFC debut.
