Yan vs. Dvalishvili 3 will serve as the UFC 333 co-main event, live from Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi on October 24. This rematch got delayed as Yan had lower back surgery earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ahead of the trilogy bout, \u201cNo Mercy\u201d has told Dvalishvili to \u2018get good insurance for his nose\u2019 as he plans to break it again.
