Asked to describe Merab Dvalishvili in one word, Petr Yan went for two: "broken machine". He said it in an interview with Full Violence, as reported by The Body Lock.

The jab comes after Dvalishvili told Arab News he is ready for a "25-minute war" in their third fight, the co-main event of UFC 333 at Etihad Arena on Saturday 24 October.

In the December rematch, Yan kept his distance and stopped Dvalishvili's takedowns to win a unanimous decision and the bantamweight title. That pressure and wrestling machine is exactly what Yan says is broken.

Yan also rejected the idea that his win over Rob Font was his best: "I believe my best performances is yet to come," he said.
