The green percentage is the Polymarket prediction market; the amber line is the sportsbook moneyline. They price the same fight two different ways.

Odds are based on bookmaker betting lines and reflect an average value, and they can move at any time. AgentMMA is not a bookmaker and takes no bets.

Everyone remembers Merab Dvalishvili making Petr Yan work through 5 rounds in their first meeting, but the rematch flipped the conversation. Yan took a unanimous decision, just as Merab had before him, and now the bantamweight belt is on the line at UFC 333. That is what makes this so good: both men have already beaten the guy standing across from them. Here's the thing about Merab's last few fights: losing to Yan came after a unanimous decision over Cory Sandhagen and a guillotine submission of Sean O'Malley in round 3.

Key Storylines
  • A tied series gets its next chapter with the belt waiting
  • Merab's guillotine against O'Malley makes every loose neck worth watching
  • Yan brings consecutive decision wins and knows this opponent already
Finishing Window

Rounds 3 and 4 could open things up as repeated scrambles make clean resets harder for both men.

He has shown he can stay busy through the distance or punish a loose neck. Yan arrives with consecutive unanimous decision wins over Song Yadong, Deiveson Figueiredo, Marcus McGhee and Merab, so he has plenty of recent experience managing different fights without needing a finish. Merab's job is to get close, force scrambles and make Yan defend again before he can settle. Yan needs room to punch, balance when Merab grabs his legs, and clean exits that do not lead straight into another wrestling exchange.

Watch those seconds after a defended takedown, because a brief reset and another scramble ask very different questions of their cardio. The belt matters, but so does the adjustment. Can either man make the other spend this fight answering a problem he thought he had already solved?
