Russian fighter Pierre Yan is on track to become UFC champion again, although he doesn’t have much time to achieve that goal, the Russian heavyweight tells Jeff Monson .
Yan defeated Brazilian Deiveson Figueredo on Saturday by unanimous decision in the main event of the UFC Macau tournament. The 31-year-old Russian previously held the UFC bantamweight belt.
— As I predicted, Peter won a landslide victory. Ian is a champion, even if he stopped winning at some point. He just went off the rails a little. It’s very difficult to be a champion because they treat you differently. He has potential. Yes, Ian has a short time to become champion again, but he is now on the right track. I wish him good luck. “Ian was a champion before he even won the belt,” Monson told .
