Petr Yan

Alexander Volkanovski retained his title with a stoppage win over previously undefeated Movsar Evloev in the UFC 333 main event. In the co-main event, Petr Yan took a unanimous decision over Merab Dvalishvili to retain his bantamweight title. Volkanovski, 38, now faces questions over what comes next, with a Justin Gaethje superfight and an Ilia Topuria rematch among the options being discussed.

Sean O'Malley isn't happy with Daniel Cormier bringing up Song Yadong as Petr Yan's next opponent! Following Yan's title defense against Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 333, DC mentioned Song Yadong as a possible next challenger, leaving O'Malley confused. 🗣️ “DC, I don’t know what he’s thinking. I beat Song like 6 months ago. I should be next for the title, I don’t care.” Via: (@sugasean)

UFC 333 is officially in the books!!! A lot of fighters had a lot of big wins, and there are some interesting matchups to be made across several divisions. With that being said, here are the fights I think the UFC should make next! Let me know what you guys think and what changes you’d made! #ufc #mma #ufc333 #alexandervolkanovski #petryan I think it’s time to give Silva his shot, I get that he just beat JMD who’s unranked but he has a win over Arnold Allen who is elite and I believe him vs Volk is a really interesting fight I also wouldn’t have a problem with Aljo vs Volk if he beats Vallejos but I think Silva and Volk’s timelines match up better. Don’t need much of an explanation here… PETR YANNNNNNNN Again no explanation needed, this was the fight to make regardless if Merab won or lost. Song has a ton of momentum right now and this would solidify his shot at the title or if Merab wins, it will show the people that Merab isn’t done yet and has lots more in the tank. I think rebooking Arnold Allen vs Pico is a great call but I think this is what the UFC would wanna do but still a super interesting matchup that was booked before why not book it again I do think though that if Movsar decides to take a lot of time off that the UFC should rebook Allen vs Pico Give the man his shot… nuff said I think their timelines line up perfectly considering the little damage Kavanagh took against Temirov This would be a super interesting clash of styles between 2 young stars in the flyweight division If Kavanagh wins give him a title shot and if Taira wins he’s one win away from a second crack at the belt. Khalil has been out for over a year so there’s no reason he should be fighting up the rankings, while Dom has won 5 of his last 6 only losing to the champ in Carlos Ulberg and deserves a crack at the top 5. Super fun striking matchup would be a great fight night headliner in an arena. Let me know what you guys think about these matchups, what you would change, and what you think is next for these guys. As always hope you guys enjoyed the post… until next time
