After an unexpected decision Henry Sehudo to complete his sports career, the UFC bantamweight champion belt was left without a host. Promotion President Dan White promptly chose the participants of the champion battle: Russian Peter Jan will beat for the vacant belt with the Brazilian legend MMA Jose aldu. The fight should take place in July on the mysterious “Fight Island”, the location of which remains unknown.
27-year-old Yang earned the right to fight for the belt with a brilliant career in the best promotion of the world. Behind the back of a native of Dudinka, a series of six victories in the UFC: Peter beat such “bison” mixed martial arts as John Dodson, Jimmy Rivera and Juraia Faber. The Russian impresses the audience with an active manner of combat and bright work in the rack. In addition to success in the octagon, Ian understands the importance of PR, skillfully conducting a thrash current and noting sharp statements. The Siberian has long pursued Sehudo and associates the American’s withdrawal from sports precisely with the fear of meeting in person: “A smart decision to escape from a fight with me.”

Ian started with tkehkwondo, but boxing is his main sport. The 171-cm fighter brilliantly works with his hands, delivering unusually heavy punches for his weight category. Having achieved serious heights in boxing, the Russian became interested in mixed martial arts. For this, Jan had to expand his arsenal: the Siberian mastered jujitsu, earning a blue belt. Peter is not afraid of working in the stalls, but relies precisely on the stand: for 15 battles in MMA, he only won once with the help of the reception. In addition to his hands, Jan is always ready to throw a clear kick to the head – everything is in order with coordination.

Ian’s popularity in North America, which remains the world’s leading sports market, is growing, but Peter is far from the “big star” level. Perhaps this is why the rivals Yana chose the famous Jose aldu. The 33-year-old Brazilian is a legend in the world of martial arts, well known to the United States and adored in Brazil. There are no sports reasons for Aldu to participate in the championship fight: he lost the last two matches.
Aldu for a long time dominated the main promotion of the world, from 2010 to 2015 without losing the champion featherweight belt. Jose preferred not to lull the audience with endless fuss on the ground, interrupting the opponents with his hands and knees. In 2015, Aldu’s career began to decline – the famous spoiled everything Conor McGregor. The Irishman long plagued Jose with insults and achieved the goal. Aldu went into battle with McGregor lost and reckless, having flown out by knockout already at the 13th second. After such a setback, the Brazilian’s career went downward.

Jan is the favorite of the upcoming duel for the belt. Alexander Shlemenko called Alda “a rival very convenient for Yan”, the same opinion is shared by bookmakers. However, there is another point of view. Eric Albarrachinwho coached the aforementioned Sehudo, is confident in the Brazilian: “Aldo is an undeniable favorite for me. He was a featherweight legend, and he remains a legend. ” In fact, there are no reasons for hatred-inspiring moods. Aldu is a dangerous rival, his last failures should not be misleading. Reflexes of a fighter remain at the proper level, strikes retain speed and strength. In December 2019, Jose lost to the formidable Marlon Morais only by a controversial split decision of the judges.
Peter is well acquainted with Alda – they carried out joint sparring. After the news about the upcoming fight, Peter, usually mentally pressing future opponents, uploaded a joint photo with the Brazilian: “Nothing but respect.”
The Russian has not so many weaknesses that the Brazilian can take advantage of. Compared to the striking technique, wrestling sags, but with protection from takedowns everything is in order. However, Aldu, despite the black belt in Jiu-Jitsu, has not won since 2005 with the help of tricks. The main thing that Aldu has is experience: the Brazilian held 34 fights in MMA against 15 Russian fights. In fact, Jan is obliged to win confidently – he is corny stronger than Alda, who has long passed his peak. The Siberian is training like crazy even in total quarantine: he was helped by the equipped room in the garage. For too long, Yan went to the title in the UFC, now even the legend of MMA will not be able to stop the Russian.
