The upcoming UFC 333 event features a highly anticipated bantamweight championship bout between current champion Petr Yan and former champion Merab Dvalishvili. Yan captured the title after defeating Dvalishvili by unanimous decision in their December 2025 rematch. Yan comes into the fight with a three-fight winning streak, including victories over Deiveson Figueiredo and Marcus McGhee.
Dvalishvili, on the other hand, lost his title to Yan and defended it three times in 2025, including a win over Cory Sandhagen. In terms of betting odds, Yan is favored at -135, while Dvalishvili is the underdog at +114. The fight will take place over a maximum of four and a half rounds. Experts predict that Yan will win the bout, citing his technical striking and takedown defense as key factors.
Dvalishvili, despite being fully refreshed after a grueling 2025 campaign, faces a steep challenge against Yan's superior damage output and relentless pressure.
