There was no love lost between bantamweights Petr Yan and Merab Dvalishvili heading into the UFC Las Vegas card this Saturday.
A rare non-Apex based event in Vegas, the Fight Night show was instead hosted at The Theatre at Virgin Hotels. Yan and Dvalishvili had bad blood between them dating back to the former’s pair of title fights with Dvalishvili’s teammate Aljamain Sterling. Beyond that, the rivalry between Russia (Yan) and Georgia (Dvalishvili) was also in play.
The event was also the landing spot for Nikita Krylov and Ryan Spann, which was supposed to have topped UFC Vegas 69 two weeks ago, until Krylov pulled out due to illness with the card already underway.
The co-main event, meanwhile, featured heavyweight Alexandr Romanov looking to bounce back from the first loss of his pro career against former Bellator MMA heavyweight champion Alexander Volkov.
