Yan Xiaonan is ranked #4 at UFC women's strawweight — close enough to smell the title, dangerous enough that champions don't say his name too loudly.
He fights at a pace most of the division can't hold — 4.69 strikes landed a minute, every minute. By round three, opponents are usually fighting his fight.
The last fight went to Virna Jandiroba (Decision - Unanimous) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.
Next up: Denise Gomes at UFC Fight Night: Nurmagomedov vs. Song on August 29, 2026. Circle the date.
