How does a Cejudo vs Yan fight play out?

Yan via being levels above everyone else besides Volkanovski.
 
Yan by torture. Henry wants out of there around the 4th round.

Cejudo has never wanted to fight Yan. To people thinking Cejudo would just wrestle Yan... Where was that wrestling against Moraes when he was getting lit up for two rounds? Didn't even attempt to take Cruz down. Yan easily keeps that fight on the feet and boxes the shit out of Cejudo. I'd like to see it just to shut up delusional Cejudo fans.

Yan does camps in Dagestan too. He is a prodigy. You hear some of the top UFC fighters talk and they all praise Yan.
 
Probably very fast and violent, thats a fight that Dana could actually make with less risk of loosing the champ on the octagon like it would happen at FW if Cejudo wins.
 
Trying to visualize this fight but cant really figure out who I would favor here.

Yan is a slow starter and would turn up the heat later on, but Cejudo is grinding cardio machine and I dont see him losing the battle of wills.
Maybe Yan starts picking up on some tendencies and starts consistently finding openings in the later rounds, but Cejudo has a chin on him and it wouldnt surprise me if he times some good openings himself.
Also no clue what effect Cejudos wrestling could have in this fight, I dont see him consistently getting Yan down or holding him down or against the cage.

If I had to pick I’d say that Yan wins a hard-fought decision that he clearly took in the later rounds by landing the cleaner and bigger shots.

Yea, I can't picture it any other way

Cejudo took very little damage over his career, especially in comparison to most fighters... so if it came down to it, I think Cejudo could eat some hard shots by Yan and somehow manage a grapplefuck with em.

Yan ain't a slouch on the ground by all means, but that is where Cejudo would have the edge... because it definitely isn't goin to be toe to toe.
With that said, though I wouldn't be surprised with either winning, I'd say Yan kills Henry in a deathmatch.

??????? Cejudo takes damage all the time and he won vs DJ/Moraes by being a punching bag until he was able to smother them. That's why he retired, he has no chance of beating Yan or Sterling without taking heavy damage again. And there's a limit to how much damage he can take.
 
Cejudo's good but Yan takes it. If they get into a brawl, Yan will come out on top. If they fight a methodic slow fight, Yan takes it since i don't think Cejudo can lay and pray him for a 5 rds winning by decision. I don't see Cejudo winning at all.
 
Cejudo would retire again
 
Yan beats Cejudo to a pulp then he disqualifies himself with an ilegal knee and Cejudo becomes a three division champ.

Dana gets the aneurysm he's chasing abusing TRT so much.

Cejudo may win this by superior control, I don't see him going toe to toe with Yan
