Is There Anyone at 135 Who Can Beat Yan Besides Merab?

[MMACro]

Movsar doesn't fight at 135.

My bad,thought he was there for a fight or two

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

I think Sean vs Yan should be next, rematch, the fight feels unfinished, their last fight left a lot of questions, many thought Sean won, many thought Yan won and many thought it was a draw. we need a rematch

Movsar in a 3 rounder beats him

they aren't even in the same weight class...

 

[The_Renaissance]

Arguably robbed against Aljo, completely robbed against Sean. He has already beaten Sandhagen and his current streak consists of both Song and Fig and did the UFC a favor disposing of McGee. Any fight other than a title shot is just a complete formality.

What do you mean regarding the McGhee comment?

Yes i realized above

Anyone saying sandhagen beats him in a rematch is just hating. Sandhagen is losing his speed with every fight but he still doesn’t have power, not like O’Malley atleast

Umar fight is worth making and I wouldn't mind seeing a rematch with O'Malley. There are good choices ahead for Yan. I like Yan better in 5 round fights so lets get him headlining a Fight Night or fighting Merab for the title. Book it Dana!

Sean leveled up, and Yam regressed after the Aljo DQ loss. Sean could beat him even worse in a rematch.

Would love to see him vs. Umar. I’m not picking Yam in that fight.

Sandy also leveled up. That’s a pick em’ for me.

Yam is definitely top 5, and that’s not a bad place to be. He’ll never hold the belt again though. Not even sure if he’ll get another TS considering his company.

Even worse?

Sean got a gift decision in the first fight and that was probably peak Sean.

He just got broken twice and lost all his momentum and confidence, I bet Piotr fnishes him this time.

Aljo comfortably beat Yan in the rematch, completely bogus to call that a 'robbery'

I would bet a substantial amount of money on Umar beating Yan. I don't even think that is a close fight. In a rematch with Sean I'd call it a pick-em and I think Sandhagen has materially improved since their first fight.

Yan is solidly in the top 5 but he's not some boogieman.

Comfortably is a stretch. It all comes down to how you score the 1st rnd

Would love to see it.

I think Sean has leveled up moreso than Yan has, and Sean's training TDD against Merab would serve him well in a Yan rematch.

[DougieJones]

Not sure I'd call that comfortable. He won rnds 2 and 3 comfortably, got pieced up and went 0/14 on TDs in 4 and 5, and round 1 was Yan landing more to the head and Aljo throwing teeps and getting a couple TDs stuffed. Even if you scored the round for Aljo, it was a low action coin flip at best.

Yan landed 2 more head strikes in round one, but Aljo arguably landed the best one with an elbow, and he significantly outlanded Yan to the body with good kicks.

Round 2 was arguably 10-8. Yan had next to zero offense that round. The fact that some people think yan won that fight is baffling to me.

 

[Jackonfire]

Arguably robbed against Aljo,

Lets hear it. Make the argument for Yan getting robbed
