The Georgian superstar has successfully defended the belt three times since claiming it from Sean O'Malley in September 2024.

He returns to the Octagon to face Petr Yan almost three years since their last showdown together.

Yan has put together a streak of three consecutive wins since his last clash with Dvalishvili. He suffered four defeats in five outings between 2021 and 2023 and will be determined to prove he belongs at the top table.
