RCC promotion head Nikolai Klimenko explained what problems the Russian faced Pierre Yan in preparation for a fight with Yadong song at UFC 299 in Miami.
Former UFC bantamweight champion Yang ended a three-fight losing streak by defeating the Chinese fighter via unanimous decision. At a press conference after the tournament, the Russian reported a leg injury, because of which “I could not train or fight for a month.” Before the tournament, Yan was fourth in the bantamweight division rankings, where he won the championship belt in 2020 and 2022.
“For me, it’s a heroic performance.” I know what difficulties Petr Yan faced – this is something an ordinary viewer will never see. All of Peter’s fights are voluntary fights.
It is clear that in the first round he was a little constrained and tense, but already in the second he turned the tide of the fight, took everything in hand and delivered cool uppercuts. Petya is a very experienced fighter and at the right moments he switches from position to fight and dictates his terms. I can say with confidence that he really needed this victory to start the title race,” said Klimenko, whose words were provided to by the club’s press service Archangel Michael.
