Yadong: "I am better than Yang in every aspect."

Chinese UFC lightweight fighter Song Yadong has spoken out regarding his fight with former champion Russian Petr Yan, which will take place on March 9 at UFC 299 in Miami, USA.

"Peter hasn't competed for a year and is on a three-game losing streak. But I don't think the long downtime will affect him. He's a great athlete, a top athlete, a former champion. I think he's done some work on his mistakes and improved his new skills. Perhaps we will see a new Peter Yan.

But I still think I'm better in every aspect. I believe in myself. I'm hungry, I have a strong punch. I believe in my boxing. One punch with my arm can send Jan to a knockout," Yadong told UFC.
