Former Bellator fighter Kirill Sidelnikov says the fight between Petr Yan and Deiveson Figueredo will be tough for the Russian.
Yan’s fight with Brazilian Deiveson Figueredo will headline the UFC Fight Night tournament on November 23 in Macau.
– For Peter it will be a very difficult fight which I think will go through all rounds. It will all depend on how Peter starts. If, as usual, he lights up in the last laps, that won’t be enough for him. It specifically needs to turn on within the first few seconds. Peter must win unconditionally in this difficult fight. Figueredo is not a gift. There is already a trite phrase about the rise of the Phoenix, but if Peter now wins against Figueredo, then the victory will secure Yan in his division and open up future prospects, Sidelnikov told RT.
Yan is 31 years old, during his career he has won 17 victories and suffered five defeats in mixed martial arts.
