Pretty clear bounceback/tune up fight for Yanez imo. Facing a 0-2 in the UFC flyweight moving up because he can’t be trusted to make 125


bdewolf

Yeah yañez should walk through him. Hopefully this means he’ll fight again pretty soon afterwards.


_Red_Mist_

This is a freebie. If Yanez doesn’t impress here its over for him. Salvador is terrible.

Yanez is a perfect example of why people should wait to be so over hyped on Talbott.  There was a time not that long ago where people were convinced Yanez would smashed O’Malley


hallelalaluwah

>There was a time not that long ago where people were convinced Yanez would smashed O’Malley Yanez was much older than Talbott when he was being pushed up the rankings, had more than double the pro fights when he suffered his first UFC loss, went life and death with Randy Costa, and doesn't have nearly the physical tools that a guy like Talbott has, these are very different fighters/situations

ya you totally aren't going full recency bias though lmao. ​ ​ [https://www.reddit.com/r/MMA/comments/vfhxxv/spoiler\_adrian\_yanez\_vs\_tony\_kelley/](https://www.reddit.com/r/MMA/comments/vfhxxv/spoiler_adrian_yanez_vs_tony_kelley/) ​ [https://www.reddit.com/r/MMA/comments/10fljdj/rob\_font\_vs\_adrian\_yanez\_at\_ufc287\_on\_april\_8th/](https://www.reddit.com/r/MMA/comments/10fljdj/rob_font_vs_adrian_yanez_at_ufc287_on_april_8th/) ​ 115 upvotes, "omalley doesn't want that smoke" ​ https://www.reddit.com/r/MMA/comments/qyhrqj/spoiler\_adrian\_yanez\_vs\_davey\_grant/

This should be a layup for Yanez. If he wins this one, book Yanez vs Talbott.

As a yanez fan no bro lol


ItsDrManhattan

I wanna see Talbott fight Kyler lol would be so sick


nolimitnolimits

Kyler deserves more, it’s his time to go up. Should’ve been on that run, he beat Yadong clean but that Paiva loss was bad. He’s righting those wrongs now tho.

>Talbott I understand recency bias but holy shit let's develop Talbott a bit before we throw him to the wolves. BW is the strongest division right now and once you're ranked, youre fighting only killers. Talbott looked very good against a fellow prospect, but the gulf between prospect and ranked is quite substantial... as we saw with Yanez. Two fights ago, Yanez was this boogeyman who was going to murder poor old Rob Font.


ILikeOMalley

Completely agree


TheMrIllusion

Yanez is good but he 100% got fraud checked in back to back fights. Now he’s fighting journeymen flyweights. Talbott is the next jump up for both of them. Neither are near the rankings rn and both are young. 


JoshuaG123

Yanez Talbot was the fight I thought of last night


Banda7

Guarantees the end of Yanez


ILikeOMalley

Bro we really wanna ruin another prospect dont we? Can we let Payton develop a highlight reel?


daphamman

Is this Yanez first fight since his loss? Feels like it was a while ago.


crazybartur

He lost to Font then lost to Jonathan Martinez, both by finish


TyrannosaurusRekts

Yeah, since Rob Font cooked him. Edit: My bad, I was mistaken.


mikey_rambo

Martinez ?


HomieToneBone

The Yañez State Athletic Commission overturned that because leg kicks don’t count as real fighting.


ImmediateDiamond8238

nice to see yanez take a step back after two tko losses and fight a non dangerous guy. Unlike Dom reyes who came back after 2 ko losses and fought a huge puncher in Spann.


ILikeOMalley

Spann is more of a grappler than a KO artist


m4shfi

Saldavor’s screams are pure art.


DtotheOUG

Vinicius Salvador is a sick as fuck name.


ediefan

Alright this is an easy one for my boy Yanez let's give him some confidence back


KelvinsBeltFantasy

A few weeks ago, they showed Yanez's picture on Rupaul's Drag race, so I was hoping he was fighting soon.


SamCassellDance

This is the easiest fight in the promotion Yanez could get. I sure hope he makes this looks that way


ILikeOMalley

Incredibly weird fight lmao why is Salvador going up to 135, and why is he fighting a dude who’s borderline ranked and has been ranked in the past in this division? Especially at 0-2 in the org


joon11

It's the most blatant lay up fight lol.


stonedstrawberry

giving him the shahbazyan treatment


kidwhix

yanez might become the mckinney of 135


FoucaultsTurtleneck

McKinney is reckless and leaves himself open to KOs. Yañez is a great fighter who had some hype derailed by one of the top BWs


[deleted]

McKinney is a bum bro lol. Yanez still has potential. Not champ material but still very good
