UFC fighter Irina Alexeeva believe that defeat Petra Yana in battle with Merabom Dvalishvili at UFC Fight Night 221 due to the fact that the Russian went to the tournament without a coach.
Petr Yan lost by unanimous decision to Merab Dvalishvili at UFC Fight Night 221 after five rounds. For the former promotion champion, the loss was the third in a row and the fourth in the last five fights.
– Whoever the fighter is – a champion or not a champion, he should always have a trainer. There are specialists with whom we grew up and achieved something together. I watched the fight, Petya had his manager as second. After all, the coach prepares a plan, analyzes the opponents. Of course, I understand that the athletes themselves can do it, but it is not the athletes, but the coach who is responsible for setting the goals and tasks to carry out the fight. Maybe that’s not enough. Because the person is very titled, but goes to fights without a mentor, and Merab had the best American trainers around. Everyone has clearly taken Peter down, here you are. Even from a psychological point of view, we still need a mentor, no matter how super-athlete we are.
Many say that Peter has become arrogant. But people just judge by picture, maybe he has such picture. I think you have to take care of yourself first and not condemn someone. I also saw that they wrote about the feature that Peter got tired of in championship rounds. But the fight was very active, and we don’t know what was inside. You can’t say he “died” because he just didn’t train well. Perhaps an illness or injury. Moreover, he said it himself after the fight. Even the fact that he lost the third fight in a row does not detract from his merits. Win or lose, he’s a top fighter. It’s the same as losing Shevchenko in a fight with Grasso. Yes, Valya lost, but that in no way diminishes her merits. We are looking forward to Jan’s next fight,” Alekseeva told MMA.Metaratings.ru.
