Merab Dvalishvili put on a complete clinic earlier tonight (Sat., Mar. 11, 2023) at UFC Las Vegas live on ESPN+ from inside The Theater at Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas, Nevada, when the featherweight contender extended his win streak to nine with a main event decision win over former UFC champion Petr Yan.
In addition to the bantamweight barn burner, a collection of memorable performances rounded out UFC Las Vegas’ card from top to bottom. Check them out below and let us know which ones impressed you most:
- Mario Bautista pushed his bantamweight win steak to four with an impressive submission finish over veteran Guido Cannetti (watch HERE)
- Light heavyweight prospects Vitor Petrino and Anton Turkalj went to absolute war in a main card opener which saw Petrino push his undefeated record to 8-0 via decision
- Bantamweight mainstay Raphael Assuncao saw his UFC retirement fight go up in flames by way of a super rare reverse triangle courtesy of Davey Grant (highlights HERE)
- Josh Fremd solidified his UFC roster spot with a powerful rear-naked choke finish over Octagon newcomer Sedriques Dumas
- Bruno Silva returned after a two-year layoff to submit flyweight veteran Tyson Nam in the second round (replay HERE)
