Former UFC bantamweight champion Pierre Yan is already in good shape, he should defeat the Chinese Song Yadong, the Russian’s friend and runner-up Ilyas Khamzin told .
On Sunday, UFC director Dana White announced during a press conference that Yang would meet Yadong on March 9 in Miami at UFC 299. Yang, 30, had his last fight on March 12, losing to Merab Dvalishvili. Yan is ranked 5th in the UFC rankings in the 61.2 kg weight category, he has lost three of his last four fights. Yadong (number 7 in the ranking), 26 years old, has 20 victories, 7 defeats and a draw. The Chinese are on a two-game winning streak.
– Yadong is on a winning streak, he wants to fight and is most likely eager to fight Peter, but I think Peter will accept this matchup. The key now is a good camp. He’s already in good shape, the boys at the gym often can’t keep up with him. And now it’s time to fully prepare. It will be a big fight,” Khamzin told .
All UFC tournaments are broadcast live on the channel.
