Adrian Yanez Predicts Second-Round Knockout against Tony Kelley at UFC on ESPN 37

Adrian Yanez is ready to put on a show for the fans at UFC on ESPN 37 at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas. For the first time since the COVID-19 outbreak, Yanez (15-3, 4-0 UFC) will return to compete in front of a live audience. The Metro Fight Club standout is even more motivated by fighting in his home state for the first since headlining LFA 78 in November 2019. In his last assignment, Yanez outpointed Davey Grant by split decision. Prior to that, he had stopped all his opponents in the Nevada-based promotion. The Dana White's Contender Series graduate is riding an impressive eight-fight winning streak, and he aims to secure his next victory inside the distance as he locks horns with Tony Kelley at #UFCAustin on June 18.
