Easily my favorite fighter off the contender series. Not only is he a really good fighter, he’s a good fucking kid too, and dealt with horrible tragedies. We’re all rooting for him I’m sure. Let’s go fam

[@nickm4083]

You can't hate this guy, he's humble but a killer 💪

[@zAhLbeRG]

Wish this dude all the best, real fighter inside and outside of the cage! Truly inspiring story

[@flaredubbzy646]

I'm at work almost crying bruh damn 😩 amazing fighter with amazing heart cant wait to see him perform!

[@scawfan1]

Couldn't imagine dealing with that type of loss period, espsecially as a professional fighter. Hope the kid continues to do great things.

[@tannercarley]

Yanez is so good. Can’t wait for him to get a big ko on a big card

[@vintage_houston]

Houston’s own. Future champ. Let’s go Yanez! ⚔️⚔️⚔️

[@swifty123]

All the best to Yanez. A fighter in and out the cage.

[@Uzi0celot]

God bless Adrian Yanez.

[@trideez3768]

This dude has hella hands and is a showman as well. I would be interested to see how he handles himself on the ground. Besides all this, the video was so well made. Kudos to UFC’s marketing team

[@ChristopherHicksSEO]

Great story. All the best for Yanez. Great fighter.

[@amarusayd7778]

[@mohammadsameerkakar3112]

[@Abman31]

This young lad is a very good prospect 👊🏻

[@jmz2144]

Tragic story, but inspirational that Yanez uses the adversity to fuel his journey

[@rzcrzc1449]

Big ups brother. I lost my dad too, so I know your pain. Great fight this past weekend, will be rooting for you in your career. Your pops and coach got your back.

[@Explicit626Beats]

Currently one of my favorite fighters on the UFC roster. Yanez has hands and he comes to take people out.

[@jgz79]

Yanez a real one, use to listen to Saul on interviews 10- 15 yrs ago. Rip Saul n Yanez' dad

[@dudelebowski8629]

Man, all these fighters are true warriors!

[@matthewking1946]

My gfs last name is Yanez so I jokingly started following Adrian after the contender series. Little did I know I was watching a rising star, I feel so lucky. Love Adrian so much

[@GalactusOG]

Yanez is legit.

[@lambdalambdalambda257]

Adrian Yanez fought 4 times in a year for the UFC and won a $50,000 bonus in each. This man made over $200,000 in a year. That's amazing. He earned every cent too.

[@brucesterz]

🔥🔥 my favorite up and coming fighter

[@Doc_Holiday530]

Respect!

[@Atomic-hm8kd]

Now that's a real fighter ryt there👊

[@GalactusOG]

His last fight against Grant was such a technical battle but Yanez beat him at that & I can’t wait to see what kind of KO he’s gonna get this Saturday 🔥💯

[@dailynnsp.o.v]

To the ones who likes these kinds of post this is for you. I Hope your day, week, even year is a blessed one. Life is to short to hate and be mad at anything. Start reaching out to loved one more because you never know when it’s our last day here. Whatever it is in life you want to do go after it don’t let anyone tell you other wise. Keep on fighting, pushing, and grinding through whatever you are going through hope all is well peace and one love.

[@nickm4083]

He's got a great story, let's see if his fighting can match

[@Sneakyblessed]

[@MrWolfchamp-xi3cu]

Is it the wide collar bones and shoulders that contribute to these guys punching power? How does that work out for them? How do they get that shape? Genes or is it acquired through years of training during childhood? If so is childhood the only way to establish your basic physique?

[@markakuban7271]

I have wide collar bones and wide shoulders...and I don't train fighting, I play basketball

i wish yanez makes it far so we'd see him against chito

[@maverickm44]

I can pay 5$ for this Mini Masvidal vs Masvidal matchup!

[@MrWolfchamp-xi3cu]

If that fight with O'Malley happened it probably would have been bad for O'Malley if he couldn't keep this guy at bay and keep him outside. Which you could probably question whether or not he could. I heard he couldn't keep Moutino at bay. I don't remember him keeping Chito at bay If he couldn't keep Yanez at bay it would probably be BAAAAAAAAAD for him right? I'm kinda curious how he'd respond to getting rocked

[@fatboygrows]

Dr. Pepper gang, let's go champ

[@hincuant417]

I wish not to compete, that is all. I wish I'm at the top of the standard when in reality... I'm not competitive at all. I'm simply, just available. That's enough of the shenanigans. So and so knows, what so and so imposes. And till that is framed properly, never stop exploring.
