Dvalishvili vs Yan 2, Pantoja vs Van, Blachowicz vs Guskov at UFC 323 in Las Vegas

Merab Dvalishvili and Petr Yan will fight a championship rematch, Alexandre Pantoja and Joshua Van will fight for the belt, and Jan Blachowicz will face Bogdan Guskov at UFC 323.

Merab Dvalishvili and Petr Yan will meet in the evening bout of this year’s last numbered gala of the UFC organization. The UFC 323 event will also feature no shortage of other electrifying match-ups. Alexandre Pantoja and Joshua Van will face each other in the second fight of the evening, and the main card also includes something extra for Polish fans, a Jan Blachowicz vs Bogdan Guskov skirmish.

Merab Dvalishvili got what he expected from the organization. Dana White has given the Georgian the opportunity to attempt a fourth defense of his championship belt in 2025. If Dvalishvili wins the fight with Petr Yan he will make permanent history in the UFC. The Georgian Machine is not stopping and is already planning fights with his next opponents. The bantamweight division champion recently mentioned that he would also like to face Deiveson Figueiredo in the near future.

Alexandre Pantoja, like Merab, is also seeing off more rivals time and time again. The flyweight champion will face the fast-rising Joshua Van, who hails from Burma and is following in the footsteps of Aung La N Sang, with a chance to become the second fighter from that country to reach for the title of one of the leading MMA organizations.

Jan Blachowicz will fight Bogdan Guskov. We’ve known about this skirmish for basically a month, however initially it seemed that the Pole would return to fighting in November at one of the galas in the Middle East. Later Janek suggested during a media meeting that it would happen a little later in the first part of December. Blachowicz’s fight against the Uzbek will be part of the main event.

Above that, the gala will also feature a fight between Henry Cejudo and Payton Talbott. The former double champion has decided to once again go through a preparation camp, so as not to end his career with a series of defeats. Triple C is risking a lot, however, as Talbott, who is eleven years younger, will have a great advantage in physical conditions.
