American MMA fighter Dustin Poirier named Russian Peter Yan the best boxer in the UFC 
Dustin Poirier on Twitter MMAFighting named the best boxer in the promotion.
The athlete thought that he was a Russian mixed style fighter (MMA) Pyotr Yan. “How he moves – does not waste a lot of time, always stands firmly on his feet, does not charge, throws clean powerful blows, hits accurately and controls his body very well,” Poirier emphasized.
The American received an ironic response from a Russian. “Dustin knows what he's talking about. McNuggets, what's up there, “he wrote, beating the nickname of the Irishman Conor McGregor.
On November 12, McGregor disagreed with the rating according to which Ian has the best striking technique among the UFC fighters. He promised to break it up in person. In response, the athlete said that he was ready to fight with the Irishman in any weight category and in any format.
On October 30, Ian defeated American Corey Sandhagen by unanimous decision and won the belt of the interim UFC bantamweight champion. The Russian lost the championship title in a duel with Aljamein Sterling in March. Then Yang lost by disqualification, inflicting an illegal knee blow to the head of a lying opponent.
