Merab Dvalishvili returns to action at UFC 323 as he looks to extend his 14-win streak against Petr Yan and keep his clutches on the bantamweight title. But first, fans will want to tune in for a four-fight prelim card that features no fewer than three lightweight bouts that promise to heavily impact the division.
Chief among those is a climactic clash between Grant Dawson (23-2-1) and Manuel Torres (16-3), with the former out to climb from his current position of 13th in the rankings. Dawson has won three in a row coming to Nevada, though ‘El Loco’ is on a high after a first-round TKO of Drew Dober back in March, which forced his place up the pecking order.
The other 155lb duel on everyone’s minds will see Terrance McKinney (17-7) take on Chris Duncan (12-2), each of whom is riding waves of winning momentum into this matchup. Both fighters have won twice already in 2025, and ‘The Problem’ can stamp some authority on the division after a Fight of the Night performance in his August win over Mateusz Rebecki.
Saturday’s prelim card opens with another lightweight scrap between Nazim Sadykhov (11-1) and Fares Ziam (17-4), with the former boasting a win streak that dates back to 2018. That’s not to forget the only women’s fight of the evening as flyweights Maycee Barber and Karine Silva face off, with the former hoping to extend a six-win streak after more than 18 months out following serious health problems.
