Syndicate MMA coach John Wood is not sure if Merab Dvalishvili will get an immediate title rematch.
Dvalishvili (21-5) put his bantamweight title on the line against Petr Yan at UFC 323 on Saturday in Las Vegas. Yan (20-5) put on a takedown defense clinic and outclassed Dvalishvili on the feet to earn an upset win.
With Dvalishvili having defended his title three this year, a rematch with Yan seems reasonabole. However, Wood isn’t absolutely confident. In addition to external factors like injuries, Wood also believes that the UFC like to push certain fighters like Sean O’Malley.
