Teruto Ishihara at UFC Fight Night 132 – June 23, 2018
After his two thrilling exploits in Russia with ACB, there was a real sense of anticipation when Yan made his octagon debut in Kallang, Singapore.
Matched up against Japan’s Teruto Ishihara, Yan took control from the very start, and he quickly found a home for his shots. He was briefly taken down but swiftly bounced back up and made Ishihara pay with a big right hand that decked the Japanese fighter.
A spinning forearm then further rocked Ishihara, as Yan moved in to finish the fight in impressive fashion and make a big statement on his UFC debut.
“I had some jitters before the fight because it was my UFC debut,” Yan said after his win. “My team helped me, however, and once I stepped in the octagon, it was good.”
It’s been pretty good for Yan ever since.
