ABU DHABI – Petr Yan and Merab Dvalishvili are one step closer to their trilogy fight after both men made weight at Friday's UFC 333 official weigh-ins.
Reigning bantamweight titleholder Yan (20-5 MMA, 12-4 UFC) and former champion Dvalishvili (21-3 MMA, 14-3 UFC) will collide for the third time with gold on the line in Saturday's co-headliner at Etihad Arena on Yas Island (Paramount+).
It was a smooth session for both men, with Yan tipping the scale at 135 pounds and Dvalishvili also registering at 135 pounds.
Dvalishvili won the first bout by unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night 221 in March 2023, while Yan claimed the belt by unanimous decision in the rematch at UFC 323 in December.
