Yan might just run through BW this year

Yeah, I agree with that. The crazy thing about Yan is the typically when we see explosive strikers they are most dangerous round 1-2 and sometimes round 3. I learned about Yan in his faber fight that even when being heavily pressured he has no problem conserving energy, and not gassing himself. It’s almost like he’s so confident in his striking once you’ve used some energy and he’s seen what you have that he just knows he’s gonna get the better of you in the later rounds. He definitely has that championship cardio
Agreed. He's not just balls to the wall. He is a calculated killer. And he fucking zohaned Faber with that kick that ended the fight. No way he should generate that much power so damn close with a kick that landed with the foot. It was a work of art.

Yeah, and I know some people are pushing the “old man faber” line. I thought he looked good. Right up until the round where yan was dismantled him, and it was one of the most dominant rounds I’ve ever seen on the feet. Faber also knocked out Simon, who proved he’s a legit top 10 guy just a few weeks before

Il be one to say yes Faber is definitely past his prime. But we have many other samples to pull from to know yan is a beast.

And regardless of how washed up Faber might be it doesn't change how insane that kick was. Old or not it was ending any fight.

Even before the kick I was starting to get the “throw in the damn towel” vibes. I rarely get there, but I definitely was worried about the fighters well being given how much damage he was taking. That kick out it through the roof.

Completely agree. Faber was outclassed from the onset of rnd 2.

Loved that elbow from the clinch that hurt Faber bad in the 2nd round as well.

Dude can switch stances at hit you with a million different things, it's remarkable.
 
Dodson far past his prime but he’s still an awkward guy to strike with. He’s lost his speed which was his best attribute, but many good strikers have had a tough time figuring him out.

Dodson makes you chase so much that you get over aggressive and he counters you. Hes still lightning quick and still has big power. So no shame to get dropped by him.

That being said Henry is being underrated. Hes an absolute stud as a wrestler and striker. Yan isn't walking through him.
 
I think everyone is a little high on Yan after he beat past prime Faber.

Let's not forget how good Cejudo is. He's beaten really good guys including MM and TJ

It's not only who he beat, it's how he beats them and skills he shows.

Been following him since ACB days. He's legit AF.
 
This guy is overated think he deserve a title shot after beating up a 40 yr old Faber. Bravo, Bravo, Mr. Yan. So how does it feel beating up your dad?

Yan: UH.. I feel like I deserve a t/s

Sure you do; any two would suffice:
1. Moraes
2. Sterling
3. Aldos
4. Cody

This guy needs to take a lesson from the Korean Zombie, who has victories over bigger names than Yan does. Or else:

#What he think is beautiful, he may not get pass Cody

Cejudo won’t defend his belt until sometime near the end of the year I guarantee you, and it won’t be against Yan.

Wrong! Big league;
So if he beats up a 40 year old men its not (WHO) BUT (HOW) he did it nice try bruh...
 
The man looks like an absolute world beater.

He very well could knock everyone's head off this year and cap it off by becoming the champ.

He's my safest pick for new champ this year.

Discuss..
Didnt look like a world beater at all vs rivera
 
I'm not sure anyone will run through BW; It's pretty stacked at the top with Cejudo, Moraes, Yan, Sterling, Aldo.
