UFC legend Henry Cejudo has explained why he believes Petr Yan deserves to be given the title of Fighter of the Year for 2025.
This year, Petr Yan was able to climb back to the top of the mountain. Following on from a nice win over Marcus McGhee in the summer, he proceeded to defeat Merab Dvalishvili in the main event of UFC 323 to once again claim the UFC bantamweight championship. It was a thoroughly impressive display from ‘No Mercy’ who completed an incredible journey back to the title.
Dvalishvili, of course, was well on his way to being called Fighter of the Year after successfully defending the bantamweight gold three times.
