Petr Yan undergoes major back surgery

Petr Yan, 32, reportedly underwent major back surgery and posted that he was under anesthesia for nine hours.

He expects a multi-month recovery that could let him begin a training camp around early summer and target a late-fall title defense if rehab stays on schedule.

If recovery timelines slip, the promotion is reportedly considering an interim title match.

Separately, talks are being discussed about Sean O’Malley either waiting or taking alternate opponents, which could affect bantamweight title plans into 2027.

The situation and exact dates remain fluid as Yan progresses through recovery.
