Merab Dvalishvili plans to show Petr Yan some tools he hasn't seen at UFC 333
Former bantamweight champ Merab Dvalishvili and two-time titleholder Petr Yan meet in a trilogy bout at UFC 333.
Former bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili is set to face Petr Yan in a trilogy match at UFC 333, hoping to showcase some new moves. In their first encounter in March 2023, Dvalishvili secured a unanimous decision win. Yan avenged the loss at UFC 323 by unanimous decision. The pair will meet again on Oct. 24 in Abu Dhabi. Dvalishvili acknowledges Yan as the most dangerous fighter in his weight class and vows to secure a victory this time.
He assures the fight will be tough but believes he has some tools up his sleeve that he hasn't demonstrated before. Dvalishvili's win would make him a two-time titleholder with five title fight wins, potentially solidifying his position as the promotion's greatest bantamweight champion.
