All Yu Yevon's power came from Sin, a product of the Final Aeons. The battle with BFA was when in his state before Yu Yevon possessed him. Yuna called her aeons to defeat the fayths, since Yu Yevon also had access to the fayths.

You have infinite Auto-Life, which not only questions the logic of the final battle, but kills it and dumps its body in the river. If he was strong, he wouldn't have needed to protect himself with Sin.
