Merab Dvalishvili does not doubt that his next fight is a title rematch against Petr Yan.
Dvalishvili put his bantamweight title on the line against Yan at UFC 323 last weekend. Yan outclassed Dvalishvili on every aspect to earn an upset win. While Dvalishvili should ideally get an immediate rematch, many believe that might not be the case. However, Dvalishvili claims the UFC has guaranteed him an immediate title rematch against Yan. While the UFC allegedly wants to book the fight in the summer of 2026, Dvalishvili wants to fight as early as April.
