In the fight at UFC 323, Petr Yan reclaimed the bantamweight championship title, ending his opponent Merab Dvalishvili's impressive 14-fight winning streak. This victory was an important redemption for Yan, as he had lost to Dvalishvili in their previous encounter in 2023.
Islam Makhachev commented on the outcome of the fight on social media, expressing support for Dvalishvili and congratulating Yan on regaining the title: "Merab is one of the greatest fighters in the octagon. Petya, you earned this title."
Now Dvalishvili was unable to get closer to the UFC record for the most consecutive wins, stopping at 14, while the records of Makhachev and Anderson Silva stand at 16 consecutive wins.
