Social media is actively discussing claims that Petr Yan may have used doping ahead of his fight against Merab Dvalishvili. The rumors have created major buzz among MMA fans, as such allegations against the former champion came as a surprise to many.
Questions surrounding Yan intensified after several journalists and MMA analysts pointed to possible irregularities. According to circulating reports, anti-doping authorities are already reviewing Yan’s samples and are currently awaiting the final results.
If the UFC confirms the violations, Yan may not only lose his championship belt but could also face a severe disqualification, which would significantly affect his career and future fight schedule. For now, the UFC has not released an official statement but is closely monitoring the situation.
Potential consequences may also impact Merab Dvalishvili — if the doping claims are officially confirmed, the Georgian fighter could be awarded the win and receive a notable boost in the rankings.
