Former UFC fighter Liana Jojua, in an exclusive interview with Telecomasia.net, suggested that Russian fighter Petr Yan will not be able to handle UFC bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili in their second matchup.

Honestly, I think Yan is a very cool fighter. I really enjoy watching his fights. His technique is so interesting. But in the fight against Merab he totally dominated him. Since then, Dvalishvili has become much stronger. I don’t think Yan has developed as much as Merab. So the outcome of their rematch will be the same as the first.
Recall that after his win over Cory Sandhagen at UFC 320, Merab Dvalishvili proposed a second fight against Petr Yan, scheduled for December this year. Their first meeting ended with a unanimous decision victory for the Georgian.
