Petr 'No Mercy' Yan is the reigning two-time UFC bantamweight champion, a Russian striker whose sharp boxing and fight IQ have carried him back to the title twice. He reclaimed the belt from Merab Dvalishvili by unanimous decision at UFC 323 in December 2025, avenging his lopsided 2023 loss to the same opponent, and now closes out the trilogy in Abu Dhabi.
