Hailing from China, Yan Xiaonan is an orthodox strawweight competitor who trains at China Top Team. With a background in Sanda, she has built her professional mixed martial arts career on striking since debuting in 2009. As the first female athlete from her nation to sign with the UFC, she has earned prominent victories over opponents like Cláudia Gadelha.
Entering UFC 329 with a professional record of 19-3-0 and one no-contest, Yan holds strong momentum. After suffering consecutive defeats to Carla Esparza by TKO and Marina Rodriguez via split decision, she rebounded with back-to-back triumphs. She defeated Mackenzie Dern by majority decision, followed by a knockout victory over Jéssica Andrade using punches.
