Before the scorecards were even read, it was clear that Yan had done enough to beat Dvalishvili and regain the 135-pound title he lost via an infamous disqualification in 2021.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Fighters reacted with praise for both fighters and veteran Matt Brown is already looking ahead to a third fight, writing on Twitter, \u201cThe trilogy fight is going to be epic!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">See more pros reactions from social media below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Petr Yan and Merab Dvalishvili one more time?
