It's a daring move by Sean O'Malley, but Daniel Cormier believes there is a purpose behind it.
Former bantamweight champion Yan takes on 15-1 O'Malley at UFC 280 on Oct. 22 in an intriguing fight that even Dana White was wary about before agreeing to.

The first rounds of Yan's battles has often ended in defeat, and he has a reputation for taking a while to get going.
Cormier feels O'Malley will aim to take advantage of Yan's first three-round battle since 2019 at UFC 280.
