Petr Yan looked amazing

[Alanf7]

The guy has some great boxing. Hats off to the opponent too(apart from missing weight), showed amazing heart and fighting spirit.


Petr Yan is someone to watch.

 

[SCTwins]

He looked good in his last fight too. Walked his opponent down without throwing a punch, then saw his opening and finished it with one shot.

 

[The_Renaissance]

He looks good, yeah. But he's not beaten anyone notable yet in the UFC so we'll see how it pans out. Son seems a tough guy though, was expcting him to get put away quickly.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

He was landing some sick combos. Really pretty to watch.

Credit to Son - That dude has a granite chin, and never stopped coming at him.

 

[Kaiokenrye24]

It would be a real slick boxing match with one guy being faster and the other being way more durable. I know Yan only has 2 fights in the octagon but it's obvious he is ready for ranked opposition and he's a very natural fighter.

Yan has been a -500 and -750 favorite in both fights

 

[Ryan G]

I'm on the hype train. You don't see too many MMA fighters throwing crisp punch combos like that.

Cody eats this fool alive

Cody could be winning the whole fight until he gets hit once

Or Lineker

Or Lineker

Yan already called him out. Let's hope it happens.

 

[Joseph_McBride]

He should have Almeida's spot in the rankings when they come out.

And if he is the only person willing to fight Lineker they may have to make that matchup

And if he is the only person willing to fight Lineker they may have to make that matchup

It will be interesting to see how Yan can handle Lineker who is notoriously difficult to hurt.

probably ends up the same way this fight ended up.

 

[mmabutler111]

He should fight Cody stamman who is a dominant grappler could give yan trouble

 

[PurpleDrank]

He might have the best boxing in the ufc.

 

[JRY82]

either cody or lineker for sure

 

[Xavier]

Him and Yahya wouldnt be bad , Yahya's in the top 15 and we'll see how Petr handles someone of Yahya's calibre in the grappling department.

 

[Workaholic]

Give him someone 9-15 in the rankings

No sense in taking it slow with a guy who is obviously this good already

 

[Spekty]

His performances have deteriorated since he joined UFC, I think it's due to USADA because he fought against better fighters than Soo Son in Russia. But I would love to see him against Cody, that would be an interesting fight. Too bad it won't happen because Cody is ranked very high. Yan vs Lineker is a good scrap and it's more likely to happen. I have Yan as a slight favourite in that fight actually, Lineker punches like a welterweight but he is slower and less technical in stand up so as long as he doesn't land a KO punch I can see Yan winning a decision.
