After just over two years with the promotion, Petr Yan climbed up the bantamweight rankings and claimed the UFC bantamweight title in a matchup with former featherweight champion Jose Aldo at UFC 251 last year.

Peter Yan looks like a 12 year old boy and a grown man at the same time.
LMFAOOOO
13 or 30
That kind of babyfaced look I guess. Some guys can be in their 20s and 30s and not only look like but also sound adolescent.

He reminds me of a mini canelo
He's a bum. Sandhagen and Cejudo eats him alive in 2 rounds and I was generous
@@teomate14s wow
@@a.m.k.6957 man it's a fact. He pretty much only box, he stance is the muay thai stiff stance, he prefers covering without watching his opponent and he's often off balance when he shoots.
Amazing
I really like how people call ALDO washed up when he set a personal record in their title fight. Lotta casuals out here hating without even watching the fight. Yan is a legit beast and beating Aljo will prove it even more.
Aldo did a great fight against the number one contender at that time, Marlon Moraes(he won in my opinion) and had 3 good rounds against Yan. He might not be the same Aldo as before but he is still an elite fighter.
I made a video trolling the guy that tried to troll Curtis Blaydes! Check it out if you HATE STUPID FANS 🤦♂️.
@E Knaaa//we can get some from TJ or JJ....if it was not for all the health successes you had in the US...we could also visit O'Malley.....it like you can't be an American champ without juice.

@@dr.tabish5190 hahahahha
yan is good but at the end he lost.
Brutal.
What makes him and his striking so special is that he's almost never off-balance. Everything is so balanced and sharp when he throws it. He's a really good athlete, too. So well-rounded. Absolute beast.
It's classical soviet boxing school. Petr has a masters degree its similar to the national champion level.
@@alexandregolovanov5905 Ahhh okay. That's really cool. I know that they listed him as a "master of sport" in boxing, but I was unsure as to what that means exactly.
@@alexandregolovanov5905 I’ve always thought that he is just an excellent Soviet-style boxer. Not doing anything new but so efficient and accurate.
I think the part of his balance is because he can fight in both stances which is future for lot of fighters
I’m American 🇺🇸But born in Thailand 🇹🇭 ...Petr Yan 🇷🇺 Training in Thailand automatically makes me a fan his boxing is so smooth to watch! explosive fireworks 🧨 🔥🔥🔥

Why they pick Thailand better coaching and less training fee ?
@@Yeahitsme101 I think Petr won at the Tiger Tryouts some years ago and kept training there afterwards
True, Yan is crisp and nasty.
@@Yeahitsme101 Do you know why so many UFC fighter training in Thailand , because so many trainer are professional and not expensive

@Casual I know right he beat up a 40 year old faber to get a title shot totally undeserving champ
@@bronsonaggamway I wouldn’t say undeserving. Maybe he should’ve fought a top 5 after beating Faber. But anyone who beats Jose Aldo and in that fashion, is more than deserving
I'm sure it's Yan not Jan
I'm so glad he has so many good options, Sandhagen, Dillashaw and if Cejudo ever comes back and even Cruz and Garbrandt. I hope he gets to fight all of them. The UFC could take money for all of those match ups.
I'm a huge Dom fan but you would've been better off saying Sean O'Malley. Cruz is long past his prime and unless you want to see another Yan vs Aldo fight (just uploaded free on YT bythe UFC yesterday btw) then there's no reason to do that fight to happen. Cruz has to beat at least 2 top contenders before a title shot against anyone and idk if I can see that happening. kzhead.info/sun/f8yJdqabmZF3nJ8/bejne.html
@@artofmartialcinemaamc5334 I stand by it. Cruz can still compete with all of these guys. He's lost some fights but that doesn't mean he can't defeat guys in the top 5 because I think he is more than capable. At this point we just need to see how he looks in his next fight amd go from there. O'Malley has a way to go but he does have potential for sure.
Yan have said at least two or three times, that next fight that he wants is fight vs. Henry. It can be coincidence, but Cejudo suddenly came to Idea to leave MMA. Sorry for bad english, hopefully you have understood what i mean) But Sandhagen and Dillashaw are good options!)
@@artofmartialcinemaamc5334 your wrong and you'll be proven wrong when he fights Kenny

No disrespect to Sterling but Yan is ain't letting the belt to be taken from him, dudes got that Champ mindset 🌍💪

@Victor Palacios he finished aldo but aldo had been finished like 4 times in his last 6 fights. Nothing to be impressed by.
@@furhadnasserjah123 nothing to be impressed by, sure kid...spoken like a true casual
@Victor Palacios yan might possibly have had the easiest road to a title in ufc history. He beat Fabre after a massive layoff, and he beat Aldo who was coming off a loss. You must also think chimaev is a future two weight champ ey?
Dude has beat nobody. He gets finished by Sterling in the first round
See so much hate towards him, it’s crazy. What’s wrong with u people? Paper champ, paper champ... we’ll see very soon... The reason why he became champ fast, cuz he fought anyone they put. Short notice fight, didn’t choose his opponents. Because of that Dana white was generous.. very soon ull all stay quiet.. God Bless

That Aldo fight was pretty hard to watch he should have never taken that much punishment
For real though he completely gassed
It was disgraceful referring to say the least

Like khabib said.. you never get the second same prime again.. poor aldo
@@jerrytaylor4036 Yeah, you can. A guy’s reputation doesn’t matter - if he is taking too much punishment, you stop the fight.

@@johnny614 I can't wait to see him MURDER that joke Sterling in the rematch, LEGALLY this time of course = )))
Yan reminds me of Kostya Tszyu in so many ways. Few words, tons of action. Coming from middle of nowhere. Slicing through their division like knife through butter and vanishing as unexpectedly as they appear. Love seeing Yan setting his own pace to the fights and come back like an unstoppable ocean wave, time after time until there is nothing left of his opponents. Very interesting and technical fighter.
Я думал,что он мне одному напоминает Костю Цзю, выходит,что нас уже двоя. Их бокс словно одной школы. Раньше всегда любил смотреть Костю,он был лучшим м своём весе
I had a gut feeling Peter Yan would become a Champ when I his debut
Yan No Mercy, from Moldova with love
This man is potentially on of the greatest of all time; I love his discipline, dignity, and humility
One of the best pure boxers in the UFC...this guy makes good fighters not want to strike with him. “No Mercy” he is a punisher.
this guy is a fighting machine..what i mean by that he feels no mercy ,no emotions, just a laserd like focus to accomplish mission
Straight up cold killer. Moves so well, fast, got a great timing, instinct to go for kill, and hard punch. I see him being champ for long time.

He's all about that quick burst power, and when it lands, it is devastating, and usually iconic in the sport...
I love the commentary. It's like watching a Tekken prologue
the king without a crown
He’ll get it back and be a x2 BW champ
A good Champion.
I honestly forgot about a lot of these fights. It was a good reminder of how good he is.
As someone who enjoys going to TMT for training I love how its being featured in the UFC. Hearing Coach Kobes does bring some crazy flashbacks though :D
Now imagine aljo - journey to champion
Lol
He is cool collective killer......He is the most dangerous Guy in UFC
His boxing is so crisp,a great striker and one of my favourite fighters.Its really frustrating to see him without the belt,he is literally the uncrowned champion really hope Sterling doesn't step back and fight him in April easy win for Petr
The thing I most enjoy about Petr Yan's fighting is his defense. His defense is so crisp and clean, I think he may have the best defense in the UFC, definitely in his weight class.
Yan looks like a smaller version of Covington
With as opposite of a style as there could be
@@karthickkailash1864 no
True
Cold not be more far from the truth. Yan has a striking base and has a world-class stand-up. Colby has a wrestling base and is a volume striker with no power, his striking is not elite whatsoever but his pressure and pace make up for it.
nope
This guy is an absolutely beast. I don't see him lost his belt soon, even if Aljo is a beast too.
Heart of a champion! Where y’all see him this 2021!? On top??
I had the pleasure of meeting both of these guys. Got choked by Eliot😂 and attended a couple classes with Duane, he keeps an amazing energy in his gym👊👊

Yan KO sterling knee to face?
So hyped for his and Aljos fight!
UFC: 1. You can knee to the head, oh but only while standing. 2. You can kick to the head, oh but only while standing. 3. You can punch to the head. 4. You can elbow to the head. 5. You can choke someone out. 6. You can break someone's arms/legs/face/head, rupture organs and cause serious internal and external damages. Yan mops the octagon with Aljamain the whole fight and then mistakenly (admittedly) knees Aljamain while he's sitting. Aljamain wins and becomes a champion. Absurdity at its finest.
Haha that son guy couldn’t stop smiling
Oh how I wish the rematch with Sterling
trains at TMT..nice camp...greatings to Kru Suntorn, Oron and Saksurin
My favorite fighter who I think has so much potential. I have have a feeling this guy's going somewhere...
Yan is severely underrated by constantly being called overrated.
I don't see him losing any time soon
I like this man...he strikeing so strong....💪💪
Gotta love the energy he brings into the cage killer instinct
He is half Chinese
Yan is an awesome durable fighter and yeah he is 7-0 in ufc but I feel like he has no big wins and yet is somehow made his way to become the champ? Aldo win was impressive but didnt feel like a true top contenders fight. Urijah is old and had no chance. Prior to that his biggest win is Rivera or De Silva Andrade. How did he get the title by beating 1 top 10 fighter in the division? He's about to face a murderers row!!
He’s improving each and everytime, Sterling matchup is interesting 🏆🔥
Пётр. Мы за тебя горой. 🤝
petr yan had to fight the russian wolfs for his meals from 5 years old in the -20 temperatures he fears nothing
He’s a Russian BEAST!!! It’ll be tough to take this guy out. I don’t think Aljo gets it done.. maybe Sandhagen...
No
YAN VS FABER / Aldo. was definitely a show of Yans MMA skills. His boxing is too crisp his clench game and wrestling this guys a unit in that division.
