The third number of the ranking of the UFC lightest division of Georgians Merab Dvalishvili spoke about the importance of the battle with the Russian Petr Yan, with whom he will meet in the main event of the UFC Fight Night 221 tournament. The show will take place on the night of March 12 in Las Vegas.

“I just want to win this fight, that's all. Defeating Petr Yan is better than winning a title because it's personal. My country will support me. It's no secret that Russians have a bad attitude towards Ukraine and Georgia. And it will be a Russia vs. Georgia fight, a very important battle for me,” Dvalishvili said in an interview with The Schmo.

Recall that Dvalishvili has been supporting Ukraine since the first days of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation.
