Merab Dvalishvili Eyes Quick Turnaround to Face Petr Yan After Cory Sandhagen

“If I win, I want to turn around quick and fight in December… Petr Yan is clear contender right now. He deserves it,” Dvalishvili said ahead of his third title defense vs. #4 contender Cory Sandhagen at UFC 320 in October. The bantamweight champ hopes to defend again in November or December, stressing he doesn’t want #3-ranked Yan waiting long as the next rightful challenger.
