  "account": "Petr Yan is focused on his current status and is considering Merab Dvalishvili's potential changes in his approach heading into their UFC 333 bout. The upcoming fight marks their third meeting for the bantamweight title, with a co-headlining slot at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. Despite Yan's previous win over Dvalishvili in December, the Ukrainian fighter is contemplating the trilogy's conclusion and whether it will be his final victory. Yan emphasized the importance of ending the trilogy, solidifying his GOAT status, and defending the belt, regardless of the opponent. While Yan is keeping his game plan under wraps, he hinted at Dvalishvili reverting to his wrestling roots, a tactic he has been less reliant on since his 2024 title run. Yan sees multiple contenders with momentum, but none excite him as much as his next opponent. He is ready to fight anyone the UFC selects for his next challenge.",
