ASA Vice President Aslanbek Badaev believes that the Brazilian Deiveson Figueredo minimal chances of winning against the Russian Pierre Yan .
The Figueredo-Yan fight will headline the UFC event in Macau on November 23. Yan, who competes at bantamweight, will face former UFC flyweight champion Figueredo after the Brazilian fighter said he would move up a division.
— An ideal situation for Petya, because they will not fight for the belt. Yang fought with the champion (Merab Dvalishvili) and the number one (Sean O’Malley). The third number (Umar Nurmagomedov) is not a good fight. The fourth number is Corey Sandhagen, with whom the Russian also fought, and the fifth is Figueredo. A very logical matchmaking in terms of audience and a good fight in terms of styles for Petya. Figueredo is a versatile player with no distinct sides. He won’t have enough power to fight against Petya. In stand-up he can punch, but Yan’s punching power is on another level. He’s a more talented athlete. From a standing position, the Russian will shoot, crush and damage the Brazilian.
Figueredo will propose a fight, but it won’t work. He will not be able to impose a full-fledged fight. The match will go to the end and the score will be 4-1 or 3-2 if their meeting in Macau is scheduled for five rounds. An excellent opportunity for Petit to return to the pool of main contenders. While Umar fights Merab, Yan will defeat Figueredo and the winner of one pair will meet the winner of the other. “An ideal situation,” Badaev said, as quoted by Metaratings.ru.
After changing weight classes, Figueredo had three victories against Rob Font, Cody Grabrandt and Marlon Vera. Petr Yang ended a three-fight losing streak by defeating Chinese fighter Sun Yadong in March.
