MMA veteran Yancy Medeiros’ return to his homeland of Hawaii with Bellator proved to be a victorious affair.
Yancy Medeiros returned to action as a fan favorite against Emmanuel Sanchez at Bellator 279 in his home state of Hawaii this past Saturday. After being let go by the UFC following four losses in a row, Medeiros won his Bellator debut in impressive fashion against the sixth-ranked contender.
Having won bonuses for Fight of the Night twice and Performance of the Night thrice during his time in the UFC, Medeiros has made a name for himself as one of the most exciting fighters out there. Making his return to fighting in Hawaii after 13 years, Medeiros put on a show for the fans that saw him outscore the former Bellator title challenger Sanchez in a thrilling contest.
In the Bellator 279 post-fight press conference, Yancy Medeiros spoke to MMA Junkie about one of the best wins of his career.
“It’s been five fights since a victory, so it was good to break that losing streak and be at home,” Medeiros said. “Everything happened for a reason last year and Bellator gave me this opportunity to fight in Hawaii.
“Honestly, this was probably one of the worst fight camps with injuries and everything but it was the best fight week for me. Everything was meant to be together. I had injuries, I was sick throughout fight camp, but the aloha and the mana of Hawaii just kept me going. … This week was surreal for me because I got to represent. Thank you, Bellator, for letting me do this for Hawaii. I really appreciate this. .. I hope to give you guys a show again.” (h/t MMA Junkie)
In an interview with LowKick MMA ahead of Bellator 279, Yancy Medeiros revealed that he had a one-fight deal with Bellator for April 23. As a seasoned pro of the game, Medeiros competed for the UFC for eight years from 2013 to 2021 after starting his career in 2007.
Medeiros was a favorable draw in his former promotion and headlined a show along with the multiple performance bonuses he earned. During his stint in the Las Vegas-based organization, he racked up notable wins against John Makdessi, Erick Silva, and Alex Oliveira.
Given his popularity in the sport, Bellator may be better off getting a new deal signed with ‘The Kid’ that extends his current agreement to a few more fights. He’s expressed his desire to stay and hopes to get a new contract with the company.
“Bellator, I’m here to put on a show everywhere I go, in any venue,” Medeiros said. “I’m always going to promote this love and aloha so come hire this kid.”

A lightweight bout between Yancy Medeiros and Damir Hadzovic has been rebooked.
The pair were initially set to face each other at UFC Vegas 27 last week until the fight was pulled right before the event as Hadzovic was experiencing health issues.
However, as per MMA Fighting, the fight has been rebooked for the UFC’s June 26 event which takes place at the Apex facility in Las Vegas. That card is headlined by a heavyweight encounter between Ciryl Gane and Alexander Volkov.
Medeiros is on the first three-fight losing streak of his career and will be looking to snap it against Hadzovic. The Hawaiian’s last three losses include defeats to Donald Cerrone, Gregor Gillespie and Lando Vannata.
Hadzovic is also on a losing streak as he has dropped his last two following defeats to Christos Giagos and Renato Moicano. He will look to earn his first win since February 2019 when he clashes with Medeiros.
Here’s how the card currently looks:

The 33-year-old joined the UFC roster in 2013 and has enjoyed mixed results during his 14-fight run. Medeiros is current 6-7 with 1 No Contest under the premier MMA promotions banner. ‘The Kid’ was last seen in the Octagon back in February when he suffered a decision loss at the hands of Lando Vannata to stretch his winless streak to three. Despite currently being on a bad losing skid Medeiros is a good fighter who has several high-profile wins over the likes of John Makdessi, Erick Silva, and Alex Oliveira.
Do you think USADA could give at least a little warning to avoid situations like the one Yancy Medeiros was in?
