UFC flyweight champion Sean O'Malley' s mentor Tim Welch analyzed the fight between former titleholder Petr Yan and Song Yadong, which takes place on the night of March 10 at UFC 299 in Miami, USA.

"Petr is probably one of my favorite fighters, but right now he's going to try to close a three-fight losing streak. He's 1-4 in his last five matches. Some of his skills are just insane, but it shows how high competition is in the UFC. Especially in the lightweight division.

This time around, he'll be facing a young fighter in Song Yadong, who is 2-1 in his last three fights. I'm curious to see how Yang will take this fight. It's a three-round encounter, and Petr usually starts slow. The guys are about the same size. It's a tough challenge for Yan. What happens if he loses? If I had to choose, I would take Yadong's side," MMA News quoted the specialist as saying.
