What’s going on, boys? Welcome back to the channel! We’ve got a banger of a fight breakdown for you today. If you missed it, we’re diving into the intense battle between Deiveson “Figgy” Figueiredo and Petr “No Mercy” Yan. If you haven’t watched this fight yet, do yourself a favor and check it out! This was an absolute war, and today, we’re going to break down exactly what happened.

Let’s start with the fundamentals of this matchup. Figgy, coming off a tough loss of his Flyweight title to Brandon Moreno, decided to move up to Bantamweight to take on Petr Yan. Yan, who had been dealing with some setbacks, including a knee surgery and a one-fight win streak, was ready to make a statement after a couple of tough losses. This fight had everything—striking, grappling, and plenty of back-and-forth action.

Petr Yan’s INSANE Striking! 🤯

Now, let’s talk about Yan’s striking. This guy is just on another level. From the opening bell, you could see how fluid and calculated his strikes were. His boxing is surgical—full extension, perfect timing, and insane precision. Every punch he threw had a purpose, and you could see how well he was controlling the pace of the fight.

One of the key moments in this fight was Yan’s ability to disrupt Figgy’s rhythm with his kicks. He was landing nasty leg kicks that kept Figgy off balance. Every time Figgy tried to get something going, Yan would throw a jab, leg kick, or some well-timed strikes that would shut him down. It was masterful. When it came to the stand-up game, Yan was absolutely on fire.

We also saw a beautiful takedown from Yan, who executed a perfect trip after landing a devastating left hook. This is where Yan truly shined—his ability to mix his striking with his grappling kept Figgy guessing the whole fight. And let’s not forget about his amazing fight IQ. Even when Figgy got a few good shots in, Yan just shrugged it off and went right back to work, using his striking and pressure to keep Figgy at bay.

Figgy’s Moments and Toughness

That being said, Figgy didn’t just roll over. He had some great moments too. Figgy is known for his explosive power, especially at 125 pounds, where he was the Flyweight Champion. He has the kind of knockout power that can change a fight in an instant, and he was landing some hard shots on Yan. But there’s a catch—at 135 pounds, Yan is dealing with opponents who can take a punch better than those at 125. Figgy’s power wasn’t having the same effect, and Yan’s ability to absorb those shots and counter was impressive.

One of the standout moments for Figgy was when he landed a clean body kick. Now, this is an interesting point because body kicks are essentially “free shots.” If they miss, no damage is done. If the opponent blocks them, their hands are tied up, and they can’t counter. If they take the kick clean, it could be devastating. Figgy ate that body kick, but it set up some good offense afterwards, showing that he wasn’t just going to sit back and wait. He kept pushing forward, trying to make things happen.

The Fight Breakdown: Round-by-Round

As the fight progressed, Yan just kept showing why he’s one of the best in the world. Figgy had his moments, especially early on in the fight, but as the rounds went on, it became clear that Yan’s pace and precision were going to be hard for Figgy to handle. The first round, in particular, was close, and some might even say Figgy had a slight edge, especially with his back control and takedown attempts.

However, Yan’s striking started to take over after that. His combinations, especially his jabs and hooks, kept Figgy from ever really establishing any rhythm. Whenever Figgy would try to pressure Yan, the latter would evade, reset, and start picking him apart from range. His ability to measure distance and control the fight was something special.

Yan’s Movement and Defense

One of the most impressive things about Yan’s performance was his defensive movement. Every time Figgy came in, Yan was able to avoid damage with his head movement and footwork. Whether he was rolling with punches, backing out, or resetting his stance, Yan made it difficult for Figgy to land clean shots. And even when Figgy did manage to connect, Yan’s chin held up, showing how tough he really is. He’s not just a striker—he’s a complete fighter.

Endgame and Conclusion

In the end, the judges gave it to Yan with a unanimous decision, but it wasn’t an easy fight by any means. Figgy showed that he’s still a force to be reckoned with in the Bantamweight division, even if he came up short in this one. His power, toughness, and ability to adapt on the fly were on full display. But Yan was simply on another level that night—his precision, speed, and fight IQ were the key factors that made the difference.

This fight was a perfect showcase of why Yan is so dangerous—his insane striking, his adaptability, and his calm under pressure. If you missed this fight, do yourself a favor and watch it. It was a banger, and both fighters showed why they’re at the top of the game.
