The UFC closes out its ESPN pay-per-view era with a pair of title fights in Las Vegas this week.
UFC 323 (pay-per-view, ESPN2/FX/Disney+, ESPN+) takes place Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The bantamweight title is on the line at the top of the card, and the flyweight belt is up for grabs right before that.

Bantamweight champ Merab Dvalishvili (21-4 MMA, 14-2 UFC) goes after history and his fourth title defense of 2025 when he rematches Petr Yan (19-5 MMA, 11-4 UFC). Dvalishvili, just two months removed from a dominant title win over Cory Sandhagen, is a heavy 5-1 betting favorite. He also holds a 2023 win over Yan in a five-round main event before he became champion.
With fight week officially underway, take a look back at the UFC careers of Dvalishvili, quickly growing his reputation as a pound-for-pound great, and Yan, the underdog challenger, in a full fight marathon.
Check out four full wins each from Dvalishvili (his first one over Yan, Sandhagen, Usman Nurmagomedov and Sean O’Malley) and Yan (Deiveson Figueiredo, Jose Aldo, Urijah Faber and Marcus McGhee) above.
