Did Petr Yan mention what injury he had? I didn't pick up on any impairment. He looked and fought like classic Yan to me.
No one is allowed to say they were injured. The unwashed basement mob will wave their flabby fingers in judgement.
What’s funny with Yan claiming he won both is criteria wise it’s not possible. He either has to admit he won because he held Sean down or lost because he got held down. Sean has a more compelling argument to saying he won the stand up and was controlled less than Yan does with Sterling. He’s basically in conflict here. Sean did much more damage to him than he did to Sterling, Yan held Sean down less than Sterling did him. Sterling also worked more for subs and shit.
Well I think in one of UFC videos Yan said something like -- I won my last fight but whatever I moved on in Russian and UFC translates via subtitles only part about I won.I been saying all along since the illegal knee he doesn’t handle adversity well or accept defeat. He’s way too emotional and that’s not a good quality (always playing the victim and making excuses). It shows in the results. From what I’ve seen of Yan this was a crazy stylistic matchup to overcome. He’s never made excuses because he’s always staunchly played the victim.
Here’s why I can’t take Yan seriously. Merab has done nothing but praise Yan as a fighter and acknowledge his abilities and this being by far his toughest fight. After the fight he again acknowledges Yan as a great fighter and his biggest challenge. Yan was dismissive of him the entire time until they fought and basically seen him as an easy win.
Post fight he didn’t even congratulate him or take an interview. He just scurried off and then he’s “injured”. No matter how you slice it Merab disrupted Yan who takes a few rounds off and relies heavily on his opponents to let him lead and conserve his energy for later rounds.
Merab had him in a defensive state the entire time and sapped him easily. Injured or not I doubt Yan would be this cardio machine. He was struggling to finish face down limp Aldo.
Yan is terrible when it comes to accountability and I think this will continue to be his downfall.
He's made other excuses after every loss.When has Yan ever made injury excuses after a fight? I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Merab still put on a masterclass.
