Second and friend Petra Jana Ilyas Khamzin told he has no concerns about the Russian fighter’s form, despite the camp being moved from the United States to Thailand.
Yang will meet China’s Song Yadong on March 9 in Miami at UFC 299. The 30-year-old Russian fought his last fight on March 12, losing to Merab Dvalishvili. Former UFC champion Yan is ranked 5th in the UFC rankings in the 61.2 kg weight category. In his last five fights, Yang has suffered four defeats. The Russian constantly trains in Thailand at Tiger Muay Thai. Yadong, 26 years old (7th in the ranking), has 20 victories, 7 defeats and a draw. The Chinese are on a two-game winning streak.
— Peter was thinking about a training camp in the United States until the last day, but then he decided to go to Thailand. There are all the conditions, all the coaches, Kairat (Nurmaganbetov) can go – they discussed and decided that they would start there. If, during the process, Kairatu manages to obtain a visa, he may consider changing his training location. Peter has therefore prepared sparring partners, and all the conditions are there to become stronger, gain strength and technique.
I’m generally calm now because Kairat went with him. I know this band, I know Kairat, I know Peter. I’m looking forward to this fight as a fan, as a friend. I myself am interested in what state Peter will be in,” said Khamzin, whose words to were provided by the press service of the Archangel Michael team.
