Yan wins bantamweight title at UFC 323

Petr Yan defeated Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 323 to capture the bantamweight championship and end Dvalishvili’s 14-fight winning streak with punishing strikes and kicks. Dvalishvili, the favorite, lost by unanimous decision, marking his first defeat since 2018. In the co-main event, Joshua Van won the flyweight belt after Pantoja suffered a shoulder injury in a quirky finish, leading to a TKO victory in just 26 seconds.
