Petr Yan vs. Merab Dvalishvili agreed for UFC main event in March

Top-tier bantamweights Petr Yan and Merab Dvalishvili are being looked at by the UFC to headline a Fight Night card in Las Vegas on March 11th.

Despite being an event in Nevada that isn’t a PPV, a matchup of this magnitude is not getting the soulless APEX treatment. No! This card will be happening at The Theater at Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas, and thank goodness for that.

Las Vegas Review Journal first reported the story, and Dvalishvili’s manager (Oren Hodak) told MMA Junkie that the match was confirmed. Verbal agreements are reportedly in place, with contracts expected to be signed soon after.
