Trader consensus heavily favors Petr Yan (83.5%) as Merab Dvalishvili's next opponent, driven by both fighters' recent confirmations of a trilogy bout after splitting their prior encounters—Dvalishvili's 2023 decision win and Yan's unanimous decision title victory over the former champion at UFC 323 in December 2025. Dvalishvili stated on March 25-26 he's waiting exclusively for the rematch, with UFC guaranteeing his title shot, targeting mid-August on a numbered card like UFC 331 following his recovery and non-MMA RAF wrestling match against Henry Cejudo on April 18. Umar Nurmagomedov (27.6%) holds strong support from his 2025 title eliminator loss to Dvalishvili and Yan's suggestion for a Merab rematch first, while Song Yadong (23.2%) and Deiveson Figueiredo (21.3%) reflect top-ranked contender status amid bantamweight title picture jockeying.
