Undefeated Russian bantamweight fighter UFC Umar Nurmagomedov stated that he would root for Petra Jana in battle with Deiveson FigueiredoSports.kz reports with reference to Fightnews.info.
“Petr Yan is certainly a very talented fighter. Nobody argues with this. I wish him victory. I really want him to win this fight and knock Figueiredo out of the title race.
You just know what I’m betting on… Petr Yan is a very good boxer, he senses the distance very well. He has good legs and a good clinch, but at the same time he doesn’t defend well. His wrestling is good, it’s not always easy to take him down, but he has some holes in his grappling. At the same time, Figueiredo has very good grappling. He fights very well, holds very well….
