Is there any WW, MW and higher weightclass fighter that have the same skillset as Yan does?

Izzy can be exploited by a great MMA wrestler

Ngannou rn almost a perfect fighter, but cardio isn't exactly as perfect

Usman have weak moment, but due to grit and improvement always came out on top

Oliveira can be knocked down pretty easy but as of late always came out on top

Anyone who believes Ngannpu is near perfect really doesn't understand MMA

Asking if the big guys have the "same skillset" as the little guys is like asking if the little guys have the "same power" as the big guys. The question is nonsensical.

i'm sure yan has more power than Ping, now him winning a fight against him is a different story

Yeah I'm sure getting hit by Yan is very similar to getting hit by Holly Holm :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Holly Holm and Petr Yan have exactly the same number of wins by KO in the UFC (2).

Yan has only been able to KO a 40 year old and a guy who lost 5 of his last 6 UFC fights. In 9 fights on the regional scene, Yan's only KO came against a can that left the sport with a record of 0-4.
 
I'd have a hard time naming any 2 fighters with the "same" skillset.

Anyone you name to be the "same" as yan could be nitpicked.

He's a beast though, I love watching Yan's fights.

Manlet MMA is more similar to WMMA than adult male MMA. A tiny fighter like Yan doesn't have to take into account his opponent's power nearly as much as he would if he were fully grown. So it is pointless to compare them.

Pretty spot on analysis.
When every shot could have fight ending consequences you have to fight a different type of fight to have high level success. That doesn't mean you are less well rounded or less skilled than the smaller guys.
 
Prime Jon Jones- and GSP were same if not better- Valentina is smaller but a more talented striker-

Yan can't knee downed opponents in the head- he is way better than Aljo- but that's a mental weakness-

Are you seriously implying that Holm have similar power to Yan?

Lets make it clear:

Gifted Giant Fighter >>>> Gifted Manlet Fighter >>>>>>>> Gifted Female Fighter >>> Ungifted Male Nerd >>>> Average Female

There's a gigantic gap between male and female regarless of size. That's the reality of biology.

Manlets have more power than women, but the threat of getting KO'd is similar because males are biologically prediposed to have stronger neck muscles than females.

That means fight strategy for manlets is more similar to that of WMMA than that of bigger male fighters.
 
Whittaker, Usman, Jones, I could keep going but dont feel like it

All vastly better than Yan

The skill level of bigger male fighters is also closer to WMMA than manletweight fighters.
