Petr Yan looks ready to make another bantamweight title run.
On Saturday, Yan picked up a unanimous decision win over Deiveson Figueiredo in the main event of UFC Macau, in a vintage performance from the former 135-pound champion. Though Figueiredo was highly competitive throughout, Yan simply out-worked the former flyweight champ to take a clean sweep of the judges’ scorecards, 50-45 and put himself back in the thick of the bantamweight title conversation.
Following Saturday’s early morning card, MMA Fighting’s Jed Meshew and Alexander K. Lee react to Yan’s terrific performance, Yan Xiaonan’s return to the win column in the co-main event, the bevy of sensational knockouts that filed the rest of the card, and more.
