Yang talked about the advice he received during his fight with Song Yadong

"After the first round of the fight with Yadong sat in the corner, everything was calm. There were instructions that you give the first round, you have to do such and such things. Move more, push up, add combinations of multiple punches. Everything was clear and calm," said the fighter in a recent interview.

The fight between Petr Yan and Song Yadong took place on March 10 at UFC 299, ending with Yan winning by unanimous decision. The win was the first in Petr's last four fights. He had previously lost three fights in a row.
