As a professional athlete, Yan has been performing for 9 years.
The last fight of Petr Yan took place on October 30, 2021 against

He’s a sh*t talker – he’s not a good dude. F*ck that guy. He’s not a good guy. I don’t think he’s a good person. The guy makes fun of homeless people. He’s not a good guy.
I don’t hate anybody. At the end of the day, we’re all chasing the same dream. But when it comes to people I would like to hang out with and I wouldn’t mind sharing a beer with, I think he’s a pretty sh*tty person outside of the sport, and I think his character speaks volumes about who he is as a person and as an individual. For me, I know what it’s like to be at the bottom, and I’ve worked super hard to get to this position, so for him to do that to other people who he doesn’t know, he can go f*ck himself.

Sterling and Yan are worthy opponents.
It is difficult to predict which of the fighters will win.Nevertheless, I think that Petr Yan will win by technical knockout.
