Preview: UFC 323 ‘Dvalishvili vs. Yan 2’

The Ultimate Fighting Championship on Saturday lands in Las Vegas for the last pay-per-view of 2025, and UFC 323 should serve up an enjoyable time at T-Mobile Arena. The lighter weight classes take center stage, as the top four bouts all take place at 135 pounds and below. The headliner sees Merab Dvalishvili defend his bantamweight title in a rematch of a 2023 win over Petr Yan, which should at the very least see the champion bring his usual relentless pace. Meanwhile, the co-main event features a much fresher face as a title challenger, as flyweight prodigy Joshua Van looks to unseat Alexandre Pantoja at 125 pounds. Further down the draw, top prospects take on ex-champions in the next two fights, as Tatsuro Taira squares off with two-time titleholder Brandon Moreno and Payton Talbott faces former two-division titlist Henry Cejudo. One more former champion rounds out the bill, as Jan Blachowicz looks to hold serve against knockout artist Bogdan Guskov in a light heavyweight showcase.
