Dvalishvili admits he could have beaten Petr Yan before UFC 282

Georgian UFC fighter Merab Dvalishvili discussed his meeting with former lightweight champion Petr Yan of Russia ahead of UFC 282 in Abu Dhabi.

Yan and Dvalishvili will fight on the night of March 12th at UFC Fight Night 221 in Las Vegas, USA.

Merab Dvalishvili
We met three days before his fight with O'Malley. Peter was talking to Aljamain Sterling and I was standing aside. Petr said I was a total zero. I laughed and looked at him. He had a big fight and I didn't want to get in his way. If he didn't have the fight, I would have beaten him right there.

Yan had a fight at UFC 280 against American Sean O'Malley. In that fight, Petr was defeated by split decision. The Russian has 16 wins and four losses on his record.

The last time Dvalishvili was in the octagon was against Brazilian Jose Aldo at UFC 278 in August. That fight went the distance and ended in favor of Merab by unanimous decision of the judges. He has a record of 15 wins and four losses.
