On Saturday, Yanez returns to the Octagon to meet Tony Kelley and look to extend his overall win streak to nine, but donвЂ™t think heвЂ™s been sitting around changing diapers and watching Cocomelon since last December. вЂњMaybe two and a half weeks after the fight he was born, so good thing I did end up taking that time off because I was there through the last steps of his mom's pregnancy, so that was also a pretty good bonding experience.вЂќ вЂњI took some time off after my fight with Davey for a lot of reasons, but that was another reason,вЂќ he said. So when those worlds collided after his NovemberВ 2021 win over Davey Grant, he did the right thing again, putting a momentary halt on his four-fight, four-win, four-bonus UFC streak to the side to make sure he was there with his lady for their sonвЂ™s birth in December and first few months. Yanez, 28, has been doing things the right way for a long time now, both in and out of the Octagon. I was blessed to have that, and I'm just relaying that down how I know best from my mom and dad, and it makes it so much easier for me knowing how I'm supposed to be doing things.вЂќ вЂњYou're supposed to spend time with your kid and both my mom and my dad did the most that they could. вЂњI was fortunate enough to have a great role model in my dad,вЂќ said Yanez of his father, Andres, who passed away in 2016. And Yanez takes advantage of every precious moment he gets, something he learned from his own parents.

To see the smile that I get, I'm loving this dad life.вЂќ Just those little key moments have been amazing for me. вЂњIt's weird, but I feel like we both understand that we don't really get that much time with each other, so when we're with each other, it's never a dull moment,вЂќ Yanez said. You can hear the change in the tone of his voice when he talks about fatherhood, and while dropping him off at daycare in the morning and then returning home after training to find him asleep is tough, on weekends and when their schedules do mesh, the bond is already there. I have a lot less days where I've been like, вЂI don't want to do this today.вЂ™ And it's always been in the back of my mind that I'm the provider I have to go out there and do this.вЂќДЄnd heвЂ™s loving it. вЂњIt's something that makes my day so much better and it makes my training so much better. вЂњWaking up to him in the morning and being able to get him ready gets my day going,вЂќ said Yanez. But you wonвЂ™t hear Yanez complaining because heвЂ™s chasing a dream of becoming the best 135-pound fighter in the world, and most importantly, taking care of the newest mouth to feed in house вЂ“ his six-month old son.
