Petr Yan Says Merab Dvalishvili Should Rematch Umar Nurmagomedov for Title Return

Fresh off reclaiming bantamweight gold at UFC 323, Yan said Dvalishvili should fight #1-ranked Umar again before getting another title shot. Yan noted the UFC made him win three more bouts to return to contention, saying it should be the same standard. Merab defeated Umar in January and expressed strong dislike, adding extra heat to a potential rematch someday.
