Yan: I have only 15 pounds to lose

On June 8 at UFC 238 Peter Yan will face Jimmy Rivera. Before the fight the Russian fighter talked about how his weight loss was going on.

"We have 11 days to weigh-in. That should be enough to safely pass acclimatization and "weight". We have already booked a hotel in Chicago, there is a gym next to it, where we will spend part of the training. Now I weight 150 pounds, I have only 15 pounds to lose."

Yan had four fights in UFC already, having produced four wins (two of them - by KO).
