Gallery Petr Yan def. Jimmie Rivera at UFC 238: Best photos view 8 images Petr Yan ’s schedule has been nonstop since he made his UFC debut almost exactly one year ago, but he’ll now have to take a bit of a break. Yan (13-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC) has fought and won under the UFC banner five times since his first octagon appearance in June 2018. He is coming off a unanimous-decision victory over Jimmie Rivera at UFC 238 earlier this month in a performance made all the more impressive by the fact he wasn’t at 100 percent. A case of synovitis (inflammation of the synovial membrane) in the left elbow caused the bantamweight contender to have surgery this week, MMA Junkie confirmed with Yan’s manager, Daniel Rubenstein. The recovery timeline after the procedure is expected at four to six weeks, Rubenstein said.
