Ahead of his UFC debut, MMASucka highlighted Siberia’s Petr Yan (10-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) as perhaps the brightest bantamweight prospect in the sport today. Yan is a phenomenal athlete with no major technical gaps, his background in boxing has been complemented by the striking and grappling instruction at Tiger Muay Thai. “No Mercy” demonstrated his potential as an offensive tornado in his ACB title run.
By all accounts, Petr is an absolute workhorse in the gym and is constantly improving. Two fights into his UFC career, it seems appropriate to check in on Yan’s performances and highlight how his talents have translated to the world’s biggest stage.
