The organization of a five-round bout that will headline the event was reported by informed sources close to the situation.
Merab Dvalishvili last August extended his winning streak to eight matches, winning a unanimous decision against the legendary Jose Aldo, and Petr Yan suffered a second defeat in a row in October, losing a split decision to Sean O’Malley.
At the moment, Peter Yan and Merab Dvalishvili occupy the second and third lines in the UFC bantamweight division rankings, respectively.
