Chinese strawweight competitor Yan Xiaonan began her martial arts training in Sanda at thirteen years old. After making her professional debut in 2009, the switch-stance striker eventually aligned with Team Alpha Male. Known for her striking, Yan secured notable wins, including a unanimous decision victory over Cláudia Gadelha.
Entering UFC 300, she holds a pre-event record of 18-3-0 with one no-contest. After suffering consecutive losses—first to Carla Esparza via punches and then to Marina Rodriguez by split decision—she rebounded. Yan claimed a majority decision against Mackenzie Dern and followed it by knocking out Jéssica Andrade with punches.
