It was rumored earlier this week that Giorgio Petrosyan would be fighting Yodsanklai Fairtex at Hero Legend on August 28. Despite everyone wanting that fight to be true, we unfortunately confirmed that the bout would not be taking place. With Yodsanklai fighting August 8th in Australia, it left everyone wondering if Petrosyan would at least be fighting at the Hero Legend event. It has now been confirmed that Petrosyan will be fighting China's Xu Yan at the event.
Petrosyan will be looking to win this third consecutive fight since his shocking loss to Andy Risite at Glory 12. His last two wins came over respected fighters Erkan Varol and Enriko Kehl.
Yan will look to win his fourth consecutive fight. He has not tasted defeat in his last six bouts, although there is a draw against Yoshihiro Sato among those six bouts. A regular on the Hero Legend cards, Yan holds wins over fighters like Mike Zambidis and Mexico's Luis Bio.
Fight Card:
Giorgio Petrosyan vs. Xu Yan
