Overview
- The bantamweight title rematch is set for Saturday, Dec. 6 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas following a restrained press conference faceoff.
- Merab Dvalishvili publicly challenged Petr Yan’s claim that he fought their first bout “with one arm,” telling the challenger to stop making excuses.
- The champion seeks a fourth successful defense of 2025 and a 15th consecutive victory, which would tie him for the third-longest winning streak in UFC history.
- Betting lines list Dvalishvili as a clear favorite (roughly -400 to -500), and props broadly lean toward the fight going the distance.
- The co-main event features flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja vs. Joshua Van, with Brandon Moreno vs. Tatsuro Taira and Henry Cejudo vs. Payton Talbott also on the main card.
