UFC bantamweight champion Petr Yan intends to secure a knockout victory in his upcoming trilogy fight against Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 333.

UFC bantamweight champion Petr Yan has set his sights on a conclusive finish for his upcoming trilogy bout against Merab Dvalishvili. Speaking ahead of the scheduled encounter at UFC 333, the reigning champion expressed confidence regarding the competitive nature of their rivalry.

Yan recaptured the 135-pound title last December at UFC 323, earning a victory over Dvalishvili in Las Vegas to avenge his initial loss to 'The Machine' from March 2023. Dismissing the notion that his previous win was a fluke, Yan stated that he anticipates an exciting clash as the two fighters prepare to meet for a third time.

As the champion looks to solidify his standing at the top of the division, he is aiming for a score-settling knockout to put the historical rivalry to rest. The trilogy fight serves as a focal point for the bantamweight division, with both fighters looking to gain the upper hand in their series.
