Undisputed bantamweight champion, Merab Dvalishvili has offered former divisional champion, Petr Yan another shot at both him and the divisional crown following the Russian’s win over former flyweight best, Deiveson Figueiredo at UFC Fight Night Macau this morning — suggesting a March matchup.
Dvalishvili, the current undisputed bantamweight gold holder, most recently headlined UFC 305 at the Las Vegas Sphere, turned in a dominant unanimous decision win over defending champion and common-foe, Sean O’Malley in the pair’s championship grudge fight.
And returning this morning to defend his status within the bantamweight top-three, Dudinka striker, Yan landed a comfortable unanimous decision (50-45, 50-45, 50-45) win over former champion, Figueiredo – handing the Brazilian his first loss at 135lbs since his move, in the promotion’s return to China.
