The UFC Bantamweight title picture is taking shape.
At this point, all signs are pointing towards a trilogy matchup between Merab Dvalishvili and Petr Yan sometime this summer after Yan recovers from his recent back surgery. It’s an obvious fight that makes sense given that each man holds one dominant victory over the other, as well as Dvalishvili’s otherwise incredible championship reign until the shocking loss.
“[That match up] is what both sides agree on,” Magomedov explained to Sport 24. “We’re considering fighting Sean O’Malley. As far as I understand, Sean O’Malley isn’t opposed to this fight either and is not avoiding it in any way. It all seems logical, but there’s no confirmation yet. There are no specific dates or specific agreements yet. But, it’s likely things are moving in that direction.”
