An American bantamweight competitor out of Houston, Texas, Adrian Yañez hones his skills at Metro Fight Club. Fighting from an orthodox stance, the Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt successfully transitioned from a strong amateur run into a professional career characterized by formidably powerful striking. Over his career, he has secured key victories against notable opponents like Davey Grant and Tony Kelley, earning numerous career knockouts along the way.

Yañez carries a professional record of 12 wins and 8 losses into his matchup at UFC 329. His recent stretch of performances includes consecutive stoppage defeats against Rob Font and Jonathan Martinez. Although he bounced back with a technical knockout victory over Vinicius Salvador, he subsequently dropped a split decision to Daniel Marcos before most recently battling Ricky Simón to a majority draw.
