Pierre Yan is now on the rise, and after the victory over Deiveson Figueredo he will return to the race for the championship, the manager of Russian MMA fighters Vitaly Tarasov told .
The bantamweight fight will headline the UFC tournament, which takes place on November 23 in Macau.
“I now have the feeling that Petr Yan is going through almost the best period of his career. The way he looks, the way he talks, the way he feels during fight week. It’s clear that Peter is determined to show his best self. He had a very troublesome Figueredo as an opponent, but, in my opinion, Peter has enough skills and mental abilities to beat the Brazilian with confidence. I imagine how Yan eliminates Devison in the subsequent rounds, and in 2025 he confidently enters the title race again, ”Tarasov told .
