Rani Yahya might be 37 years old, but that doesn’t mean he’s done going after the young blood in the UFC bantamweight division. Yahya (28-10-1 MMA, 13-4-1 UFC) is still eager to climb up the ranks and improve his stock, and that means taking out more hot young talent after he derailed Kyung Ho Kang’s winning streak on Saturday at UFC Fight Night 198 . In previous fights Yahya has folded under the pressure when he’s hit hard or put in trouble.
