For the last PPV event of the year, at UFC 323, bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili is set to defend his title for the fourth time this year, for which Dana White himself has praised him. He will face Petr Yan, whom he already defeated in 2023. However, Yan says it will be different this time.

Yan told the UFC he wants an early knockout to erase all doubt. Finishing the champion quickly leaves no room for speculation or controversy. He wants the belt back and plans to take revenge, claiming he has everything needed to beat Dvalishvili.

He said, “I want to win early by knockout. When you finish the champ early, it leaves absolutely no talk, no speculations. I want to get the belt back and take my revenge. I have everything it takes to beat him.”
