Petr Yan News
One of the best fighters in the bantamweight division returns to the octagon after two very heavy defeats. He was first defeated by champion Sterling and then suffered a shocking loss to Sean O’Malley. However, it should be said that both defeats came after a split decision. For most MMA analysts, Yan was damaged in both bouts, especially this one against Sugar O’Malley.
In his career, Yan defeated fighters such as Aldo, Dodson, Faber, and Sandhagen and certainly represents the very top of the bantam category. He is only 30 years old and entering his prime. However, it should be said that Yan was very dissatisfied with his status in the UFC. First, because he could not come to the match with Sterling with his team, and then because he was “stolen” in both matches, he threatened to leave the UFC. That is why we expect much more rational judging in this match if the match goes to points.
Petr is a guy who has perhaps the best boxing in the entire UFC, his movements, dodges and combinations are like those of a pro boxer. He is very difficult to take down, and he has an excellent takedown defense, which he perfected to the peak in the Tiger team in Thailand, where he trains.
This is one of the defining matches for nursing a career in the UFC. With three losses in a row, I would be out of contention for the belt soon.
Merab Dvalishvili News
Merab is one of the fighters who are on a great streak and the match against Yan is the test of his career. He comes from Georgia, which speaks volumes about his physical strength. Guys who come from that country are known to be naturally strong. Dvalisvili is a fighter who is on a streak of 8 victories, where in the last match he dominated Jose Alda and defeated him by the referee’s decision.
Before Aldo, Maron Moraes, whom he knocked out, then Stamann, Dodson fell in order. All dangerous and tough fighters. Merab is a fighter who forces wrestling and dominance on the ground. Where he knocks the opponent down and keeps him on the floor. However, he is also very good in the standing position. He has firm and precise low kicks with which he slows down his opponent, which is what he plans to do in this match as well. If he gets into a boxing match with Yana, he’s not going to have a good time.
In this match, Merab will have to be careful and he will have to stay away from mid-range because that’s where Yan is deadly. Wrestling and grounder are the segments of the game that will bring victory to Merab.
