Russian mixed martial arts fighter Pierre Yan expressed confidence that after defeating Brazilian Deiveson Figueredo, he will become the main contender for the fight with UFC bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili.
The fight between Yan and Figueredo will headline the UFC Fight Night event, which takes place on Saturday in Macau.
“I told Figueredo that it would be a very difficult and tough evening for him, that he had never encountered anything like this before. I’m not bluffing. I’m not playing any mind games. I just don’t think he’s ever encountered anything like this.
Dvalishvili says Figueredo is the most worthy opponent, so if I beat him, I don’t know what Merab will say then. I am confident that I will break it and take the place of the number one contender,” Yan quotes MMA Fighting.
Yan is 31 years old, during his MMA career he has won 17 victories and suffered five defeats, Figueredo has 24 victories, three defeats and one draw.
