$1.5 Million Worth UFC Star Petr Yan Leaves His Coach Misty-Eyed With a $30,000 Surprise Outside the Gym!

Former UFC champion Petr Yan has gifted a $30,000 pick-up truck to his coach.

Former UFC bantamweight champion Petr Yan joined hands with Anatoly Malykhin, his training partner and ONE FC fighter to give their head coach a surprise of his lifetime. It is worth noting that Yan has worked hard to get into this position. With a net worth of roughly $1.5 million as per The UFC News, he can afford to give out such gifts.

The two Russian fighters bought a brand new Ford Ranger pick-up trick worth nearly $30,000. And give to their head coach John Hutchinson at their Tiger Muay Thai training facility in Phuket, Thailand.

Petr Yan has been working with John Hutchinson for a while now. Moreover, the coach was with Yan during his first title win over Jose Aldo in 2020. Hutchinson later took to Instagram and reacted to being gifted his dream car. He said:

“Today is a crazy day. So thankful for everything in life. @petr_yan @anmalykhin BEST OF THE BEST LETS GO.”

However, it wasn’t the only post made by the Tiger Muay Thai instructor. He posted another post regarding the same and joked about how Petr Yan and Anatoly Malykhin would still face punishment if they show up late to their training.

“I’m not the best with Instagram photos. But this is more like it. 50 burpees if late in morning LETS GO GUYS BELT TIME. @anmalykhin @petr_yan So grateful.”
