Petr Yan isn’t letting go of the jacuzzi joke with Merab Dvalishvili.
Yan (20-5) challenged Dvalishvili (21-5) for the bantamweight title at UFC 323 on Saturday in Las Vegas. Dvalishvili invited Yan to his jacuzzi during the pre-fight press conference. “No Mercy” declined the offer, claiming Dvalishvili’s jacuzzi only has boys instead of girls. Dvalishvili chimed back in another interview, accusing Yan of spending time with ladyboys in Thailand instead of staying in Las Vegas.
Come fight night, Yan put on an MMA masterclass to reclaim his title. When asked about an immediate rematch, Yan said Dvalishvili should spend some time in the jacuzzi with his boys for the time being.
