Upon his return fight, Faber faced Ricky Simon and won the bout via first-round TKO. With the win, Faber became the first fighter to win a fight after being inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame.
Petr Yan's run in the UFC so far
Petr Yan signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship in January of 2018 and in his promotional debut at UFC Fight Night 132, he defeated Teruto Ishihara via first-round KO. Since then, Yan has complied wins over the likes of Douglas Silva de Andrade, John Dodson, and in his last Octagon outing, he defeated Jimmie Rivera at UFC 238.
