For fight fans out there wondering how Yanes feels about an MMA run in the future, don’t hold your breath. As an all or nothing type of athlete, Yanes doesn’t see much of a future in MMA.
“As of now, I’d have to say I’m strictly Jiu jitsu,” Yanes said. “I try to get excited about MMA and I like the idea of it, but I have to force myself to do MMA. To be champion at MMA is a whole other thing. I know I could do good in MMA, have a fight or two and win, no problem, but to be champion in the long run, that’s something I can’t see.”
Yanes predicts three or four FIGHT PASS appearances in 2022, and although none of them will be in a cage, it will be interesting for fight fans to watch the gi medalist make even more of a name for herself on UFC FIGHT PASS. Might a rematch be in order?
