You’re telling me this is a co-main event?

Following one of the most stunning title performances in UFC history, two-time bantamweight champion Petr Yan is running it back with former titleholder Merab Dvalishvili in a highly anticipated trilogy bout at UFC 333 in Abu Dhabi on October 24. 

Yan is a -166 moneyline favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook, while Dvalishvili is a +140 underdog. 

Yan (20–5, 12–4 UFC) dethroned Dvalishvili — snapping a 14-fight win streak in the process — with an epic unanimous decision win at UFC 323 in December. He recaptured the 135-pound belt with his fourth straight win and third career title-fight victory. 

Dvalishvili (21–5, 14–3 UFC) is eager to recapture gold following one of the most dominant title runs that bantamweight has ever seen. With a win, Merab would tie TJ Dillashaw for the most title-fight wins in the division’s history (5).
