Petr Yan

Experts call Petr Jan the rising star of mixed martial arts. In mid-2018, his score was 9 wins and one defeat. The Russian bantamweight is a dangerous opponent due to his aggressive tactics and ability to quickly adapt to any technique.

Petr Yan is Russian by nationality. He was born in the Krasnoyarsk Territory on February 11, 1993. Already in childhood, he was "fighting" and endlessly got involved in fights both at school and on the street, so his parents sent him to the taekwondo section.

The family had two children. The older brother was fond of boxing, but no matter how much Peter begged, he did not agree to take him to training. The boy had to follow him unnoticed. After learning where his brother was engaged, he showed up to the gym and said that he also wanted to be a boxer.

He stayed in boxing for 8 years and showed good success, passing the standards of the master of sports. After that, Peter decided to try himself in mixed martial arts and in 2014 he became the champion of Siberia and the owner of the Russian Cup.

Peter made his debut performance according to the MMA rules at the Eurasian Fighting Championship. His rival was Murad Bakiyev, for whom this fight was also the first serious battle. Yang won the 3rd round by knockout and attracted the attention of the promoters.

After the fight, Peter was offered a contract with the Russian company ASV. As a member of this organization, he entered the ring with Renato Velame, an experienced Brazilian contender with 26 fights under his belt. Yang fought desperately and, by unanimous decision of the judges, won a landslide victory. Even then, the fighter began to show his own style - assertive and aggressive, thanks to which his performances were especially spectacular. In a professional environment, Peter received the nickname No mercy - "There will be no mercy."

After the fight with Velame, Jan won 2 more fights, and dealt with both opponents very quickly. He knocked Kharon Orzumiev out of action after 47 seconds of the fight, Artur Mirzakhanyan held out a little longer, but he also got a knockout in the 1st round and was eliminated.

In March 2016, Petr Yan got a chance to fight for the ACB champion belt, but lost to Magomed Magomedov. Sports publications called that fight the best fight of the year: the forces of the rivals were equal, the initiative was constantly shifting from one athlete to another. For 5 rounds, Ian led, but in the last seconds he struck a forbidden headbutt, for which he was deducted one point.

As a result, two out of three judges voted for a draw, and one for Magomedov's victory. Usually, in such cases, the issue is decided in favor of the majority, but since it was a fight for the champion title, Peter was declared a loser.

This decision angered many fans, who considered that in fact Yan deserved the award more than Magomedov. The head of the ACB Mayrbek Khasiev was of the same opinion, who promised the fighters a second meeting. The rematch was scheduled for October 2016, and the athletes received an additional $ 5,000 in addition to the prize money for entertainment.

After the fight, the rivals talked peacefully, but in the course of preparation for the second meeting, their relationship began to deteriorate. In interviews and on social networks, they first "teased" each other about weight and fitness, then moved on to more serious accusations and a showdown. However, no one dared to offend an opponent in the face, and the fans considered their quarrel a PR.

The fight was postponed several times for various reasons: either Peter's hand injury, or Magomed's fasting in the month of Ramadan, or the current queue of fights interfered. As a result, they met again in the ring only in April 2017. Magomedov had the favorite status as the champion of last year. The first 2 rounds passed in an equal fight, then Yang went on the offensive, after which his opponent again leveled the pace of the fight. At the end of the fight, the victory was unanimously awarded to Peter, and he became the ACB bantamweight champion.

Yang made his UFC debut in 2018. In Singapore, he entered the ring against the Japanese Teruto Ishihara and won a landslide victory. The second successful fight took place in June with South Korean fighter Jin Soo Sung.

The loser Gene also had to give Ian 20% of the fee - such a penalty is provided for by the UFC rules for deviations from the norm at the pre-weigh.

Peter is married, but little is known about his wife. In 2016, they became parents. He often posts photos with his wife and son on his Instagram page, but does not like to talk about his personal life in interviews.

Peter's height is 170 cm, weight - 61 kg. Ian is a lightweight and agile fighter, who is called the “universal soldier” by martial arts experts: he feels confident in both stances and quickly changes tactics. His athletic biography has had rivals with different styles, but he has demonstrated the ability to adapt to each of them. A strong will and a strong psyche play a significant role in his victories.

Until recently, the athlete and his family lived in Omsk, periodically leaving for training camps in Thailand, but in 2018 he moved to Yekaterinburg. After defeating Jin Soo Sung, he was offered a contract with the Archangel Michael club.

Now Peter Yan is preparing to compete at the Absolute Fighting Championship in Australia, which will be held in December.

As for the next opponent, the athlete declares that, in principle, he does not care who to fight with, but he himself would prefer John Lineker.
