UFC Fight Night time: When does Petr Yan vs Merab Dvalishvili start in UK and US this weekend?

Petr Yan squares off with Merab Dvalishvili this weekend, as the bantamweight contenders clash in a UFC Fight Night main event.

Ex-champion Yan, 30, has suffered narrow decision losses in his last two fights, against successor Aljamain Sterling and rising star Sean O’Malley.

The loss to O’Malley in October proved especially controversial, but Russian Yan will know he can leave no doubt against Dvalishvili, who is on an eight-fight win streak.

The Georgian, 32, last competed in August, easing to a decision win against Jose Aldo by out-grappling the UFC icon for three rounds.

Here’s all you need to know.

When is it?

This week’s Fight Night is set to take place at The Theater in Las Vegas.

The prelims will begin at 8pm GMT (12pm PT, 2pm CT, 3pm ET), with the main card following at 11pm GMT (3pm PT, 5pm CT, 6pm ET).

How can I watch it?

The card will air live on BT Sport in the UK, with the broadcaster’s app and website also streaming the fights.

In the US, ESPN+ will stream the action live, as will the UFC’s Fight Pass.

Odds

Yan – 17/40
