Merab Dvalishvili’s Coach Fires Back at Petr Yan Ahead of Rematch

Responding to the ex-champion Yan’s claim he was “50%” in their first fight, coach John Wood said, “Whatever helps them sleep… Merab’s hand was completely broken in two places.” Dvalishvili beat Yan by decision in 2023 and underwent surgery after. The bantamweight rivals will run it back for the belt at UFC 323 on March 7, 2025, in Las Vegas.
