UFC bantamweight star Petr Yan has praised Merab Dvalishvili as the two prepare to go to war at UFC 323.

On Saturday night, Petr Yan will attempt to regain the UFC bantamweight championship when he challenges Merab Dvalishvili for the gold. The two will face off in the main event of UFC 323, and it will mark the second time that they have fought, with Merab picking up the win in their first meeting after putting on an absolutely insane pace throughout the course of the bout.

Now, after a few setbacks, Petr Yan is riding a three-fight win streak and he has more than proven himself worthy of a chance at dethroning Dvalishvili.
