Petr Yan Explains Why Revenge Makes the UFC Title Win that Much Sweeter

UFC bantamweight champion Petr Yan has explained why the revenge aspect of his win over Merab Dvalishvili made it so much sweeter.

Last weekend at UFC 323, Petr Yan defeated Merab Dvalishvili to become a two-time UFC bantamweight champion. It was something that a lot of fans didn’t see coming, but he was still able to push through and put on arguably the best performance of his career.

Petr Yan now sits back at the top of the mountain at 135 pounds, and while a trilogy fight against Dvalishvili is likely at some point, nobody can deny that he deserves to be champion again.
