First look: Petr Yan in his custom fight kit.👀🔥 @petr_yan
Petr Yan has given fans a first look at the custom fight kit he plans to wear in his next appearance. The bantamweight champion shared the reveal on social media on October 21, 2026, though no opponent or date for that bout has been attached to the post.
Yan, a 33-year-old Russian who trains with the Archangel Michael Club, holds a 20-5-0 record and sits atop the 135-pound division as champion. He fights from a switch stance and stands five-foot-seven, or 170 cm, with a 67-inch reach that matches his height.
His most recent recorded fight came on December 6, 2025, at UFC 323, where he beat Merab Dvalishvili by unanimous decision over five rounds in a title fight. That win followed a unanimous decision over Marcus McGhee in July 2025 and another over Deiveson Figueiredo in November 2024, which means all three of his latest recorded bouts went the distance and ended in his favor.
The numbers show a volume striker who stays accurate. Yan lands 5.12 significant strikes per minute at 54 percent accuracy, and he mixes in 1.58 takedown attempts per 15 minutes. He rarely hunts submissions, averaging just 0.1 attempts per 15 minutes.
Why it matters
- Yan is the reigning bantamweight champion, so any fight he takes next is likely to carry title implications.
- His last three recorded wins all went to the scorecards, a run built on volume and accuracy rather than finishes.
- A kit reveal typically signals that preparation for a fight is moving forward, though no bout has been reported.
For now the post is a promotional teaser rather than fight news. Details on who Yan will face, and when, have yet to surface.
