Umar Nurmagomedov makes Petr Yan vs. Merab Dvalishvili prediction for UFC 333

Umar Nurmagomedov predicts that Petr Yan will secure another victory over Merab Dvalishvili when they face off in the co-main event of UFC 333 on October 24 at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. Nurmagomedov, who lost his title to Dvalishvili at UFC 311, believes Yan's health played a crucial role in their previous rematch. In their first bout, Yan struggled due to an injured shoulder, while in their second meeting, he utilized both hands effectively, showcasing superior boxing skills.

According to Nurmagomedov, Yan's bantamweight title reign is a testament to his superior boxing abilities, while Dvalishvili's wrestling prowess falls short in controlling opponents on the ground. With both fighters potentially healthy for the upcoming bout, Nurmagomedov is confident that Yan will prevail once again.
