Yan defeated Figueredo by unanimous decision on Saturday in the main event of UFC Macau. In March 2023, the Russian lost by decision to Dvalishvili.
—Before the fight, I thought we might see the best version of Peter again. And that’s what happened. This is the same Yan who went through an ideal training camp, entered the fight without health problems and also looked very strong mentally.
In the first round, it was a bit alarming when Peter turned his back on the Brazilian quite easily. I immediately remembered one of the fights against Aljamain Sterling. But Ian quickly got out of his bad situation and we didn’t see any further problems.
