History is the name of the game on Saturday night. UFC 323 and Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena host an opportunity for Merab Dvalishvili and Joshua Van to leave their mark in the record books.Â
UFC bantamweight champion Dvalishvili defends his title against familiar foe Petr Yan. A Dvalishvili win would mark his fourth successful title defense of the year, the first time any of the promotion’s 3,000-plus fighters have accomplished the feat.Â
The second title fight on Saturday sees another legend in the making as Alexandre Pantoja looks to defend the flyweight crown against rising contender Joshua Van. Pantoja has quickly climbed the pound-for-pound rankings as well after three defenses of the 125-pound title. He gets a young and hungry challenger in Van, who is looking to make history and win a world title at just 24 years old.
