Russian MMA fighter Pierre Yan reported to that he competed in his last UFC fight against Merab Dvalishvili with an injury to his right shoulder.

— In which of your last three fights have you been most unhappy with yourself?
— As for the fight with Merab, my right hand didn’t work. In five rounds, I hit her 3-4 times, then intuitively threw her away. I couldn’t hold a half-liter bottle of water; my anterior labrum (at the shoulder joint) was partially torn. Everything seemed to be fine with O’Malley, just to sort some things out, with Sterling too, in principle,” Ian told .
