Sean O’Malley (20-3, 1 NC) says a rematch with Petr Yan (20-5) is inevitable and that he is willing to wait for it. A trilogy bout between Yan and Merab Dvalishvili (21-5) for the UFC bantamweight title is expected, although it has not been officially announced. Their series is tied 1-1, with Yan earning the most recent victory by unanimous decision at UFC 323 in December 2025.
