Petr Yan is back in the title discussion at bantamweight.
At UFC Fight Night 248, Yan (18-5 MMA, 10-4 UFC) masterfully defeated Deiveson Figueiredo (24-4-1 MMA, 13-4-1 UFC) by unanimous decision (50-45, 50-45, 50-45). The event took place Saturday at Galaxy Arena in Macau, China.
It only took Figueiredo less than half a minute to drag Yan down to the canvas at the start of the fight. Yan eventually worked his way into a controlling position on top, however, in Figueiredo’s guard. Yan landed some ground-and-pound before the two rose to their feet prior to the end of the round.
