Adrian Yanez (12-3 MMA, 1-0 UFC), will look to stay perfect in the Octagon when he meets Gustavo Lopez (12-5 MMA, 1-1 UFC) at UFC Vegas 22 on March 20.
Yanez said he has a lot of respect for Lopez, especially his toughness and refusal to quit. However, Yanez believes his skills are more developed than his fellow bantamweight.
“I’ve fought better wrestlers, and I’ve definitely fought better strikers,” Yanez told MMASucka. “I see a lot of openings I know I’ll be able to take advantage of. If he’s able to take the shots, it’s going to be three rounds of me just picking him apart.
