‘Yan’s Biggest Weakness Is His Wrestling’- TJ Dillashaw Breaks Down Aljamain Sterling vs Petr Yan
Follow Us
Petr Yan will make his first title defense next month against the number one contender, Aljamain Sterling. The two men were initially set to fight for the title towards the tail-end of last year. However, visa issues meant that the Russian fighter could not travel into the United States. However, this has meant that the fight is shifted to an insanely stacked card where they will be one of three title fights on the night.
Since the fight got booked, what was initially a cordial relationship has become a bit sour. Both men have been going back and forth over Twitter recently. Yan also made a bold prediction about his upcoming fight against ‘Funkmaster’.

The former champion continued, “He just kinda bombs kicks nonstop…. got great wrestling and his Jiu-Jitsu is amazing as well too….So I think it will be tough fight cause I think Yan’s biggest weakness is his wrestling. He’s lost in the past to a guy in Bellator just by getting out-wrestled. So we’ll see the gains he’s made in his MMA wrestling. I would still probably put my money on Yan just because he’s a little more well rounded.”
