Petr Yan
Petr Yan, a Russian fighter whose nickname says everything about his aggression inside the octagon, is known for his remarkable level of striking, about 5.14 significant strikes per minute with a 53 percent striking accuracy. His output of punches per minute (4.36 SApM) combined with a robust rate of punches defended (58%) speaks volumes of his ability to withstand the odds. Yan has averaged around 1.73 takedowns over a fifteen-minute period and maintains an 85% takedown defense rate, these are not key parts of his game. However, they are complimentary to his striking ability which provides him versatility as a fighter. His win against Yadong affirms his claim to face elite fighters and work himself to the top again.
Deiveson Figueiredo
On the other end, Deiveson Figueiredo displays certain prowess, earning him the title ‘God of War,’ ‘Deus da Guerra.’ Although a bit shorter and with shorter reach than Yan, Figueiredo is more strategic in his fighting philosophy and combats carefully. While his average striking is lower than Yan’s (3.01 SLpM) at 55% accuracy, Figueiredo manages to be quite precise. On the other hand, takedowns are Figueiredo’s feast, with his average being 1.68, in addition to a great submission average of 1.6 per 15 minutes. His recent victory over Vera demonstrated his ability to control the fights and win by submission, a key aspect that appears troublesome for Yan’s defense systems.
Petr Yan vs. Deiveson Figueiredo Summary
Both fighters enter the ring with game plans to help them win but the weight of the bet is with Yan owing to his high striking output and impressive defensive stats over Figueiredo. But Figueiredo’s ability to grapple and submit could be a game changer if he can close the distance and take the fight to the canvas. A week ago at UFC 309, Jon Jones defended his Heavyweight title by TKO against Stipe Miocic. Recently, this fight reiterates the unpredictability that is associated with UFC fights since Yan is favorite to win but it would be foolish to overlook Figueiredo. Similar to this, the heavyweight fight also promises to be an interesting strategy based battle with a lot of action and a lot of upsets possible.
