This weekend, former UFC Bantamweight Champion Petr Yan will return to action at UFC Fight Night 221 against Merab Dvalishvili.
Yan will attempt to end his two-fight losing streak this weekend. His last loss was against Sean O’Malley by split decision at UFC 280 on Oct. 22, 2022. While on a losing skid, Yan is still considered one of the best bantamweights in the UFC. However, his opponent Dvalishvili presents a tough matchup. Dvalishvili is on an eight-fight win streak and is ranked third in the bantamweight division. A win for either fighter, could put them one fight away from being the next number one contender for the bantamweight title.
The co-main event will have Alexander Volkov take on Alexandr Romanov in a heavyweight bout. UFC Fight Night 221 will also have the rescheduled fight between light heavyweights Ryan Spann and Nikita Krylov. The fight was made for this weekend after Krylov pulled out of their fight on Feb. 25 due to an illness.
