Russian mixed martial arts fighter Alexei Makhno commented on the defeat of former UFC champion Petr Yan in the smallweight division in a duel with Georgian Merab Dvalishvili. Makhno expressed the opinion that Jan is suffering from psychological problems as this is his third defeat in a row.
“I think it’s more difficult psychologically. Indeed, three losses in a row. But listen, there were many instances where warriors were later healed and not so. Many guys started with a series of defeats and then found success.
Everything is in Peter’s hands. You probably need to do some head work, a little tidying up, distraction, rearrangement. Everyone understands that this is a fighter of the highest level – I think the problem here is in psychology, ”said Makhno socialbites.ca.
