No Mercy
Petr Yan
Career overview
Petr Yan holds a 20-5-0 professional record and competes as a switch-stance bantamweight standing 5'7" with a 67-inch reach. A volume striker with refined technique, Yan lands 5.16 strikes per minute at 54% accuracy while maintaining solid defensive awareness at 59% strike defense.
His wrestling remains a secondary but functional tool, averaging 1.70 takedowns per 15 minutes with 49% accuracy and exceptional 86% takedown defense, though submissions are rarely part of his arsenal at 0.1 per 15 minutes. Recent results show mixed fortunes: Yan scored a dominant unanimous decision over Deiveson Figueiredo in November 2024, but suffered setbacks against Sean O'Malley (split decision loss in October 2022) and Merab Dvalishvili (unanimous decision loss in March 2023).
He rebounded with a unanimous nod over Song Yadong in March 2024, demonstrating resilience after adversity. His fight against Figueiredo showcased his ability to control five-round pacing against elite competition, though his recent 5-3 record in eight fights reflects the competitive depth of the bantamweight division.
Yan remains a technical striker capable of winning rounds through output and accuracy rather than explosive finishing power.
