Leans on wrestling in victory
You defeated AJ Cunningham via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
An awkward and uncomfortable striker, You typically only stands long enough to get his grappling game going. That proved to be exactly the game plan in this fight. He stayed to the outside early on before firing off a whopping 10 takedown attempts. Five landed, good for 7:54 worth of control time. This result was never in doubt simply because Cunningham was able to get nothing going offensively. It will be interesting to see if You will be able to win fights going forward if those takedowns aren't landing.

Excels in Macau victory
You defeated Baergeng Jieleyisi via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Macau, China.
ANALYSIS
It was a dominant performance from You in which he excelled wherever the fight took place. He closed with a 42-9 edge in significant strikes landed, in addition to connecting on 2-of-5 takedown attempts. You lacks ideal power, but he's competent in all areas and responsible defensively. That should allow him to remain competitive in most bouts. You will be 29 years of age in mid-December, so he should try to get back in the octagon as soon as possible considering how little damage he absorbed on this evening.
