Russian Pierre Yan has solved most of his problems and will have no problem in the fight with the Brazilian Deiveson Figueredo MMA fighter Valery Myasnikov told .
The bantamweight fight will headline the UFC tournament, which takes place on November 23 in Macau. On November 22 in Nizhny Novgorod, Myasnikov will fight with Belarusian Vladislav Kovalev, nicknamed Belaz, at the Ural FC 9 tournament.
— I always liked the way Peter works with his hands. An excellent boxing school is visible. Yang added enough versatility to feel good in MMA. In recent years, Peter has experienced tough defeats, controversial refereeing decisions and injuries. Today, from what I heard, he has resolved most of his issues, including preventing him from fighting Merab Dvalishvili. Already with Song, Peter came back changed. Then he returned for “repairs”, rested and recovered. The UFC recently re-signed Yan to a contract for six additional fights. This means that Peter himself feels a large reserve of resources in himself and the league still considers him one of the best bantamweight fighters. I think Peter will sort out Figueredo in class this weekend,” Myasnikov told .
Yang is a former UFC bantamweight champion, Figueredo is a former flyweight belt holder. Yan is ranked third in the UFC bantamweight rankings, the Brazilian is fifth. Yan is 31 years old, during his career he won 17 victories and suffered five defeats in MMA. Figueredo, 36, has 24 victories, the Brazilian lost in three fights and another match ended in a draw.
