Yadong enters with a recent technical decision win over Henry Cejudo after a points loss to former champion Petr Yan, having previously built momentum with victories over Ricky Simon and Chris Gutierrez.
The winner positions themselves firmly in the bantamweight title picture following Petr Yan’s upset victory over Dvalishvili at UFC 323 in December. O’Malley has stated publicly that a dominant win over Yadong would set up a high-profile rematch with Yan. For Yadong, a victory over the former champion would immediately elevate him from top-ten gatekeeper to legitimate title contender in one of the division’s most competitive eras.
With Dvalishvili expected to receive an immediate rematch with Yan later in 2026, the UFC 324 winner becomes the clear backup option or next challenger in line, depending on how title defenses unfold through the spring and summer.
