Petr Yan is one of the top names in the UFC bantamweight division today. He used to be a champion in the UFC and has done well in his career. Yet, recently, he has had a downturn in form as he has lost his last three fights. After two devastating losses, Yan looks to work his way back to the title.
The Career Of Petr Yan
Yan took the bantamweight division by storm after debuting in the UFC. He has defeated the likes of José Aldo and Cory Sandhagen, which shows he can mix it up with the best in the business. Yan is a great striker but can take the fight to the ground if he wants to. He is coming off a loss to Marab Dvalishvili, where he struggled for most of the battle. The bantamweight division in the UFC is one of the toughest in the sport. Yet, Yan has the tools to reach the top again.
Changing His Team
He lost his belt by disqualification for throwing an illegal knee. Yet, after losing the rematch to Aljamain Sterling, Yan's form started to go downhill. Sean O'Malley and Dvalishvili, both fantastic competitors, beat the former champion. The 30-year-old will look to change his team as he looks to get back into the title picture. In an interview with Xtra MMA, Yan discusses what changes need to happen.
"I know I should (make changes). I should try to modernise my training camp in some way, my coaching team. Change something, install something new, correct some things," Yan said. "I'll try to make that happen. So, you can see some changes in the future.
"It's people. It's sparring partners and coaching staff. The team is the most important thing. The new coaching team needs to form," Yan continued. "The team I'll be preparing with will be with me at the arena."
