LAS VEGAS – It took Adrian Yanez just 39 seconds to earn a UFC contract , and he’s already drawing comparisons to one of the promotion’s biggest stars. Yanez (11-3) made quick work of Brady Huang at Dana White’s Contender Series 28 when he hit him with a one-two combination that stumbled his opponent Tuesday night. A few pinpoint follow-up shots had Huang visibly dazed, and referee Jason Herzog decided that he’d seen enough, even though Huang was still on his feet. With his crisp boxing, as well as his look, Yanez reminded many – including cageside commentator Paul Felder – of a young Jorge Masvidal , a comparison that he’s flattered by. Yanez is a fan of Masvidal’s style, but ultimately he wants to be remembered for his own journey.
