Really the fuck-up is on Yans corner. Dude even celebrated when the knee landed. They fucked up badly.

Yan should know the rules though. Just a fucked up situation all around.

Shame on that corner

 

[Quarthon]

They said kick him. Not knee him.

Yan isn't a moron. They could have told him anything, he knows what's allowed.

Nah it's clear that a UFC champion with more than 20 fights obviously doesn't know one of the most basic rules of the sport.

Agreed, but why did he ask his corner if he's good to go? I assume he wasnt sure if Aljo's knee was definitely touching the ground.

I’m Peeyotor Yan fan, but it’s on the fighters to understand the rules

 

[PulsingJones]

Why does he have an English speaking cornerman when he can't speak English?

 

[Nuclear Fallout]

It's not his corners fault, they aren't the ones fighting. Yan knew it would be illegal and still did it.

 

[McSpikes]

Should have just listened to the English speaking guy

Why does he have an English speaking cornerman when he can't speak English?

He understands English just fine and speaks it decent enough. Just doesnt want to do it publicly like Anderson

Why does he have an English speaking cornerman when he can't speak English?

That's retired irish boxer john hutchinson who has been yans boxing coach for a number of years. Yan understands more english than you think, and like a lot of russians probably low-key speaks more english than you think too

The corner gave him bad advise but he should have known the rules. He is a professional fighter. That was a dangerous and cheap shot that could have done permanent damage to Sterling. Yan deserves to be disqualified and perhaps even banned from the octagon for a year. That was such a cheap and dangerous shot.
