Remains perfect in UFC
Yanez defeated Davey Grant via split decision (29-28, 27-30, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
The 30-27 scorecard in Grant's favor is one of the worst in recent memory. Yanez probably absorbed a bit more punishment on the feet than he would have preferred, but there was no question who landed the more damaging shots throughout the course of the fight. All told, Yanez connected with 100 total strikes compared to 98 from Grant. The second round could have gone either way, but the first and final frame appeared to be clearly in Yanez's favor. Yanez is still working to incorporate some secondary skills into his game, but he's a high-level boxer with the ability to overwhelm his competition on the feet. The soon-to-be 28-year-old improves to a perfect 4-0 in the UFC. He'll also take home a $50,000 post-fight bonus after this matchup was awarded Fight of the Night honors.

Facing six-month medical suspension
Yanez will be required to undergo a nasal bones X-Ray and will be required to sit six months or until he gains medical clearance if it comes back positive, Mike Heck of MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite nabbing the win over Randy Costa via TKO (punches) in the second round Saturday, Yanez may have taken some major damage himself that could require a lengthy stay on the sidelines. Should the suspension go the full length, Yanez would be looking at a late January return to the Octagon at the earliest.

Turns page to get second-round win
Yanez defeated Randy Costa via TKO (punches) at 2:11 of Round 2 at UFC on ESPN 27 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Yanez was caught by surprise by the kicks and piston-like jab of Costa, which turned his face into a mask of blood in Round 1. The 27-year-old made key adjustments at the opening bell of the second frame, namely pressuring and throwing his own jab to counteract the shot from his opponent. The combination of damage and fatigue saw Costa crumble after a couple of hard body shots to give Yanez his third consecutive stoppage win. Yanez has taken the bantamweight division by storm, stopping every UFC fighter in his path en route to a 14-3 record in professional MMA.
