Only fight he legitimately loss was the merab fight all the otherfights he had were close and could've gone either way

[@georgedzagania9744]

and still merab was not given title shot even he had much harder run to ufc title. and suga was saying he want to fight ilia. safe fight if he lose he will still have kept his belt. even after ufc 298 suga and his couch were laufing how merab has s10 win striks and after 5 more they will give him a chance. not good look from champion. And only now when all ufc comunity joe rogan fans and dana himself said its merab next, suga said he will figh merab. Volkanovski is loved because he was true champion fight everyone in his division and then moved up. and after that he coud say no to topuria but he knew he was the biggest challenge and he took it, that how true champion-warrior shoud act. if not UFC is becoming WWE.

Ain’t it funny , I’ve been watching fighting long time , you see happen a lot both ways , a flash knee knockout or even a DQ And projectory forever changed .

Thanks

Yes he did

[@lebraa]

I remember how hyped i was when they first announced yan vs sandman

[@besiedju]

And O’Malley beat Cheeto and Pedro

[@jaredtaylor326]

Sean won

[@hayseanward]

Yan should’ve gotten the nod! Just rewatched it again, takedowns, ground control time, significant damage tempo of the fight, Yan controlled where that fight went almost the whole time.

[@JonNewgate]

Still one of my favorite fighters of all time. He is a savage.

[@JMBM44]

Learning a bit of english is lava for Petr

[@rockymarciano8076]

Finally! My favorite fighter is back! Let's go baby!

He's 19-2 btw.

If you want to stand out with these interview videos, edit the video where the interviewer ask the questions and cut to where the fighter answers in closed captions. Where you don’t have to wait for the translations

[@andreszambrano2183]

For real! lol but it’s Petr Yan so I’ll watch a 30 min interview of him either way 😂

[@OHOnKO]

Петька, вперёд!

[@shelbyesters5732]

If yan didnt beat omalley, then duplessis didnt beat strickland. 🤷‍♂️

[@brendajackson8542]

I mean it's not a bad take to be honest

[@dashworldwide]

Petr got robbed so did strickland

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

Exactly keep it simple they both got shafted , and have to hear rebuttal younger fans tired of the have to take” the belt is nonsense. Ok well than Sean and yan won a close fight . The challengers fell short

[@jaredtaylor326]

Sean won Strickland definitely won

[@mrbeanz6694]

Yeah that's exactly how it works

[@kenmoraes6843]

Petyr is still one of the best bantamweights. All his losses were split and could have been given to him, his only loss was Merab. I want to see him at the top.

[@andreszambrano2183]

If Yan and Sean win, they need to run it back 5 rounds. Yan beats him this time.

[@denimandlead7725]

Huh. I’m early. This should be a good fight.

[@Wholesome_Hans]

These questions are lame af

[@EasternCombatPerspective]

I might have to change my prediction, this guy is clearly concussed thinking he won against Merab 😂😂

[@dommelow2676]

It seems that you're concussed - he talked about Sean.

[@EasternCombatPerspective]

@@dommelow2676 I speak both languages spoken. He clearly mentioned both fights against Sean and Merab as fights he likes to get back, as “he won and was declared a loser”. So maybe you should join him for evaluation too.

[@dommelow2676]

@@EasternCombatPerspective but this line was pointed just towards Sean. In the Merab fight arguably lost all rounds and never did complain

Petr 🥱

[@erikjohansen7850]

What’s crazy is Yandong beat Vera and Petr beat O’Malley, but Vera and O’Malley are the ones fighting for the title

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

Wow I forgot is wild what’s that called again DW privilege

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

Problem with yan he needs 5 rounders , Corey beat ya dang right?

[@NoGrrlLikeMe]

And these are just Facts, Sean “Paul” O’Malley also says he would beat a Prime McGregor.

[@edge3369]

Prime McGregor is a myth , fighters just got better while Connor had time off yan is just talking about how he won vs sean as if he didn't get outstuck massively while saying he's the best boxer in the weightclass lol i'd be mad as well if i went from champ to a 3 losing streak

[@neilba1]

He’s a barrel of laughs isn’t he…Peter

[@langfordjeremy100]

Lol he is a bitter fella but I don't blame him. He deserves another title shot in the future

[@edm5929]

Yan already beat the active champ. Smh. He needs to run it back with Merab.

we know how it will and merab has to fight for belt men has 10 winning streack beating 3 former champs!!!

[@DEZCFC86]

Yan was robbed twice Vs sterling & the O'Malley fight.Only real loss for Yan in UFC is Merab but he did stop like 40 of the 89 takedowns Merab shot at him & was apparently injured

[@glati0s]

Hope Yan gets back on track

[@BPB9973952]

so funny for Yan to say that. Sean goes to the middle east and fights him, then takes on Sterling, I don't think he is picking easy one's. In addition, there are no easy fights in the top 5-6

[@devpal4718]

Sean had no choice in fighting Yan or Sterling lol. Now that he’s champ he picks Chito who is way easier than Merab or Sandhagen

[@KeithWhalen11]

​@@devpal4718 Merab has one finish in his last 10 fights, no one is clamouring for him to main event a PPV. O'Malley beats Sandhagen 9/10, both are technical but Sean is less shopworn, better finisher, faster, etc. Both of those are lesser fights, imo.

Probably Yan will never make it to be a champ again. He’s too short and his reach is short, his grappling is not impressive. Go down to fly weight.

what yan smoking?? he got whooped by sean and chito is not an easy fight.

No he whooped Suga that’s clear to the whole ufc at this point what are you smokin and chito no where near deserves a title shot he’s on a 2 fight losing streak that’s what he means

He was wearing his blood from a last round knee bro you act like he had yan leaking the whole fight and besides that knee yan outstruck him in the first app there is a whole slowmo video on it and landed ground and pound not much but some he didn’t stall he won bro but it’s past

[@b1p_mac275]

Friendly reminder that Yan was gifted a title rematch after blowing his win by cheating and getting DQed. Then he lost the rematch. Then he fought down 10 rankings because he wanted what he thought would be an easy rebound fight.. oops he lost. Then the guy that was supposed to be an easy rebound went on to beat the guy Yan lost to. Song is a lot like Yan, but younger and hungrier. Good luck!

[@merrickray3810]

Yan showed he belonged though by completely outclassing who people call the bantam weight goat yes he did a illegal knee but so did Jon jones and nobody said anything about him and his opponent kept fighting? And that rematch coulda went eighther way no salt thought aljo did his thing, but merab wasn’t a easy rebound yan just wanted to get the win back merab was on a 8 or 9 fight win streak and a terible stylistic matchup how is that a easy rebound

[@merrickray3810]
