Petr Yan faces Merab Dvalishvili this weekend, in a UFC Fight Night main event between bantamweight contenders.<\/p>\n
Former champion Yan is looking to bounce back from the first two-fight skid of his career, with the Russian having lost split decisions to successor Aljamain Sterling and rising star Sean O\u2019Malley in his most recent outings.<\/p>\n
Most fans feel that Yan should have been given the win against O\u2019Malley \u2013 and arguably against Sterling, too \u2013 but the 30-year-old can afford to leave no doubt on Saturday.<\/p>\n
He goes up against Georgia\u2019s Dvalishvili, who is riding an eight-fight win streak. The 32-year-old most recently fought in August, dominating UFC icon Jose Aldo for a decision win.<\/p>\n
