MMA fighter Timur Nagibin spoke about his expectations for the fight Petra Jana and former Brazilian UFC flyweight champion Deiveson Figueredo noting that the Russian can win sooner than expected.
The bantamweight fight will headline the UFC tournament, which takes place on November 23 in Macau. Yang is a former UFC bantamweight champion, Figueredo is a former flyweight belt holder.
“This is the most logical fight, and for Petya the most important thing now is to come back, because Figueredo is now on the move, very strong physically. But Peter has very good endurance, he can keep a very good fighting rhythm. This is the pace that must be maintained at a high level and be careful. Figueredo will most likely focus on driving and throwing single shots. Peter needs to be more careful, but at the same time constantly increase the pace. I think Figueredo will have endurance problems. I see in my head that if everything goes according to plan, Petya can finish the fight earlier than expected, in the second or third round,” Nagibin was quoted as saying by “Championship”.
Yan is 31 years old, during his career he won 17 victories and suffered five defeats in MMA. Figueredo, 36, has 24 wins, three losses and one draw.
