but, Yan will not be coming to Las Vegas as a simple guest. The Russian confirms that he wants to win by early knockout, pointing out that when you finish the champion in this way, there are no doubts or speculation. The experienced boxer won three consecutive victories after that defeat against Dvalishvili. With wins over Marcus McGee, Song Yadong, and Davison Figueiredo, proving that he is still a real threat to anyone in the division.
“I don’t think Merab’s plan is to fight me standing up. If we look at my boxing skills, he understands that it is too risky for him.”Yan stated confidently in the countdown to the event. The former champion confirms that this time he comes with the necessary corrections after analyzing his first fight.
Co-star presents Flyweight champion Alexander Pantoja defends his title against emerging contender Joshua Vann. Brazilian The Cannibal was practically unstoppable, racking up eight straight winsthe last five in the championship fights. His last win was a submission over Kai Cara-France which asserted his dominance in the division.
Vann, who is just 24 years old, arrives with the momentum of playing three games in 2025 and winning them all.indicating an unusual level of activity. This will be his fourth appearance in the Octagon this year and his first shot at the title, a moment the young American has been eagerly seeking.
UFC 323 features former champions in every fight on the main card. Event times are as of Eastern Time (ET) in the United States. Among the most notable fights is the expected retirement of Henry Cejudo, the former two-time champion of the organization, who will face Payton Talbot at bantamweight. “Triple C” finished his second stint in the UFC with a 0-3 record, but his legacy as one of the sport’s greats is certain.
He’s just a happy guy 😄@tatsurutaira Brings positive vibes to #UFC323!
