Former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker analyzed the fight between former lightweight division belt holder Peter Yan and Song Yadong last weekend at UFC 299 in Miami.
"I think it came as a surprise to Yadong that Petr started doing everything that Yadong did in the first round from the second round on: he was throwing takedowns and boxing. It was as if Song couldn't predict what Peter would do. He'd throw his own kickdowns, wear his opponent down, get up and start boxing, and then put the fight back into the floor. It was cool.
People started to forget how good Peter is. His strength is the way he combines wrestling and boxing intelligently. He does it better than most fighters in the UFC," said the Australian in the podcast MMArcade.
Recall, Yang defeated Yadong by unanimous decision of the judges.
