Adrian Yanez won’t hunt for finish against Ricky Simon at UFC Seattle

Adrian Yanez won’t throw caution to the wind for an extra paycheck. Yanez is scheduled to fight Ricky Simon at UFC Seattle on Saturday at the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, Washington. While the UFC has raised the bonuses for the Paramount era, Yanez won’t be hunting for a finish against Simon.

Yanez learned an important lesson in Michael Bisping ’s middleweight title win over Luke Rockhold in 2016. While Rockhold was vowing to knock out Bisping, “The Count” dethroned dethroned him with a knockout in the first round. As much as Yanez would like an extra paycheck, he knows that his opponent is also lured by the same idea.

While Yanez has earned his fair share of bonuses in the UFC, he wishes it was in the Paramount era instead of ESPN era. Don't Force It “I do want a third check night, but at the same time, I got someone in front of me who’s gonna be looking for the same thing,” Yanez told
