Former UFC Bantamweight Champion Petr Yan is still dead set on reclaiming his spot at the top of the division, and after dominantly picking apart Deiveson Figueiredo in the main event of UFC Fight Night 248, he may just be the next man in line for a title shot. To say the Russian’s performance in Macau was a masterclass would be an understatement. Almost from the word go, Yan lived up to his nickname, “No Mercy,” outclassing the streaking Figueiredo almost everywhere the fight went.
Prior to 2024, Yan was in a very precarious spot in his UFC career.
