Paired up to take on Enrique Barzola at UFC Brasilia, the Brazilian jiu-jitsu blackbelt feels like ‘Triple C’ will lose his other belt to some of the top contenders in the division, after having the UFC take Cejudo’s flyweight one due to inactivity.
In an interview with Combate, Yahya gave his opinion on the current state of the UFC’s bantamweight division, where he shared his feelings about some of its top contenders, such as Petr Yan and Aljamain Sterling, being superior fighters.
