The "UFC 323" tournament will take place in Las Vegas, USA, on the night of December 6th to 7th.
Idman.Biz reports that the main focus will be on the rematch between Merab Dvalishvili and Russian fighter, former champion Petr Yan.
The fight will start at 09:00 Baku time.
The fighters first met in March 2023. At that time, Merab Dvalishvili won by unanimous decision. Yan took a long break to recover after his third consecutive and heaviest defeat.
More than two years have passed. Dvalishvili is currently one of the main stars and dominant champions of the UFC. He has had five fights since the fight with Petr Yan and has won all of them. Yan has rebuilt his career, winning three fights in a row and earning a title rematch opportunity. This time the duel will be completely different from the previous one.
Yan is entering the rematch in a different state: he has no fights lost by consecutive judge decisions, he has recovered from previous injuries and does not have the problem of not valuing Merab as before. He has been renewed both physically and mentally.
Dvalishvili will fight his fourth fight in a year. Two matches lasted a full five rounds, and the fight against Umar Nurmagomedov was particularly difficult. After such a load, even the strongest athlete's body may show signs of fatigue.
