John Yannis

John Yannis, a 5'7" southpaw from the United States, carries a 10-4-0 professional record and competes at 135 pounds with a 70-inch reach. Yannis operates primarily as a striking-focused fighter, landing 3.30 strikes per minute with 53% accuracy while maintaining solid defensive positioning at 74% strike defense.

His grappling remains minimal—he averages zero takedowns per 15 minutes with a 66% takedown defense rate, indicating opponents rarely attempt to bring him down. With a knockout score of 34.4, Yannis possesses notable finishing power despite his modest striking volume.

His recent form shows volatility: he suffered a first-round submission loss to Austin Bashi on August 2, 2025, at 3:39, but rebounded sharply with a devastating first-round KO/TKO of Jamie Siraj on April 18, 2026, just 1:43 into the bout. The cardio score of 8.0 suggests potential conditioning concerns that could limit his effectiveness in extended fights.

Yannis will look to build momentum with consistent performances and establish himself as a legitimate contender in the bantamweight division.
