In UFC's announcement, the UFC Fight Night event in Macau (China) in November finally closed the event match. It was the competition in the Bantamweight weight class, where Petr Yan encountered the former Deiveson Figueededo championship. This is also the next match of Petr Yan since March.
Since the time of overcoming Jose Aldo and winning UFC Bantamweight, Petr Yan has died too much. He lost to Aljamain Sterling twice, then lost to Sean O'Malley in an unclear match. By the beginning of last year, Petr Yan lost to Merab Dvalishvili and slipped.
Petr Yan's loser only stopped earlier this year, when he won against Song Yadong. However, that victory made Petr Yan pay very expensive. He accepted the competition while torn muscle, and broken ligaments in the competition with Song Yadong.
In contrast to a tortured Petr Yan, Deiveson Figueededo is in very good form. Since the loss of UFC Flyweight belt in the hands of Brandon Moreno, Deiveson Figueededo has moved to Bantamweight. He currently has a series of 3 consecutive victories towards the battle of belt.
In UFC's Bantamweight weight class, Merab Dvalishvili is the championship holder. Gruzia boxer won the belt after defeating Sean O'Malley in the recent match. According to the schedule given by UFC, Sean O'Malley is likely to fight with another boxer, instead of early remaining Merab Dvalishvili.
