Rani Yahya: Kyung Ho Kang is ‘basic’ on the mat and ‘doesn’t seem to have KO power’

Bantamweight veteran Rani Yahya does not seem too worried about his next opponent. Paired up another seasoned UFC fighter in Kyung Ho Kang at UFC Vegas 33, the Brazilian acknowledges the skills of ‘Typhoon’, but does not consider anything too dangerous out of the ordinary.

In an interview with Combate, Yahya pointed out Kang’s skillset both on the feet and on the ground, and seemed unimpressed with what he discovered after watching tape. Although Rani did sing his opponent’s praises a bit more on the ground, the Brazilian jiu-jitsu specialist still found some of his grappling to be just mediocre.
