Russian UFC bantamweight fighter Pierre Yan in a duel with Brazilian Deiveson Figueredo could have won with more confidence, the ASA heavyweight champion told Evgeny Goncharov .
On Saturday, Yan defeated Figueredo by unanimous decision in the main event of the UFC Macau tournament.
— Personally, I expected a more confident performance. Peter had trouble in the fight in the first round and missed several nasty shots in the fourth. In my opinion, Peter did not show the best of his boxing, which is what we expect from him and for which we loved him. This time he worked mostly as number two – carefully and thoroughly, bringing the matter to the right level, which he did, well done.
But I expected better. He could have won early if he had taken more risks, attacked and boxed. Yan had good kicks and takedowns, but Peter lacked quality boxing. For some reason, this aspect has sank. There may be reasons for this.
In the next fight, I would like to see Yan against Sean O’Malley. We deserve this revenge. But it is too early to face Merab Dvalishvili. We need to improve our physique and our wrestling,” Goncharov told .
