His boxing fundamentals, high guard, stance switching, and pace are reflected in an 94 Boxing and 92 Cardio.
In July 2020 at UFC 251 on Fight Island, Yan captured the vacant UFC Bantamweight Championship with a fifth-round TKO of Jose Aldo. After losing the belt via disqualification to Aljamain Sterling at UFC 259, he defeated Cory Sandhagen at UFC 267 in Abu Dhabi to claim the interim title.
