UFC bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili responded to the latest statement from former division leader Petr Yan.
Earlier, the Russian had announced that he plans to knock out the Georgian in the upcoming rematch, which will take place on the night of December 7 at UFC 323 in Las Vegas.
“He said he wants to damage me and knock me out. Oh no, Petr. Save that energy, and I'll show you who's the boss here. We'll see, Petr, we'll see — only one week left. I can't wait!” — said Dvalishvili.
Let us remind you that in the first fight, which took place in March 2023, Dvalishvili defeated Yan by a lopsided judges' decision.
