“Peter Yan showed the true Russian spirit by never giving up. Now he is a legend” – Monson
Petr Yan demonstrated true Russian character by regaining the UFC belt in a rematch with Merab Dvalishvili, Russian heavyweight Jeff Monson told Match TV.
On Sunday night, Yan defeated Georgian Dvalishvili in the main fight at UFC 323 in Las Vegas. After five rounds, the judges unanimously gave victory to the Russian, who became the bantamweight champion. Yang won the UFC belt in 2020. Now the Russian’s winning streak is four fights, but before this streak, Yan lost three fights in a row. In March 2023, Peter lost to Dvalishvili by unanimous decision.
– Petr Yan simply did the most difficult thing in sports. He was a champion, lost and regained the championship title. This is the most difficult thing in sports, and Petr Yan did it. He showed the true Russian spirit by never giving up. Many doubted him, but he himself did not doubt. He continued to move forward until he became a champion again. So now he’s a legend,” Monson told Match TV.
