Petr Yan on changing training camp and team

Traditionally, the former UFC champion held his training camp in the Southeast Asian country, but this time it was decided to radically change the environment. As the athlete himself says, he intends to go far away from home so that nothing distracts him. Approximately, he plans to spend about two months in America. His colleagues do not have an American visa, and Yan is in a hurry to immerse himself in work in order to work with the new team in advance.

On March 9, in Miami, the Russian will fight at UFC 299 with Chinese Song Yadong. We know little about his opponent - we have seen several fights with his participation. At the same time, he notes that his opponent has a strong punch, an athletic build, determination and composure in his gaze. Yan himself set a goal for himself to compete in the upcoming tournament, because his main motive today is the financial well-being of his family.

The long-awaited event at UFC 299 will be the fight between Sean O'Malley and Marlon Vera. In addition, that evening, all fans of mixed martial arts will see Michael Page and Kevin Holland, Gilbert Burns and Jack Della Maddalena, Kathleen Chookagian and Macy Barber, Lauren Murphy and Karina Silva, as well as many other promising fighters in the octagon.

Petr Yan has 22 fights under his belt, including 17 wins and 5 losses. Currently ranked fifth in the bantamweight division in the official UFC rankings.
