Petr Yan will step into the cage wearing fresh custom shorts when he meets Merab Dvalishvili in their UFC 333 bantamweight title trilogy this weekend in Abu Dhabi.
UFC and Venum released images of the kit four days before the Oct. 24 showdown at Etihad Arena, as MMA Mania first reported. The design pulls from Yan's Russian heritage, blending the country's flag colors with traditional textile patterns while keeping the black-and-gold palette reserved for UFC champions.

What Yan's Custom Kit Features
One side carries the Russian flag. The other displays a sword, shield and wings inspired by St. Michael. Yan's "No Mercy" nickname appears in a crest using the same red, white and blue scheme.
Yan joins a small group of fighters granted custom shorts, including Jon Jones, Ilia Topuria, Max Holloway, Alexander Volkanovski and Alexandre Pantoja. Dvalishvili has also received custom gear for the trilogy bout.
