Two-time Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) bantamweight champion Peter Yan seeks to settle his rivalry with the former 135-pound kingpin Merab Dvalishvili in the highly anticipated trilogy UFC 333in the main event this weekend (Saturday, October 24, 2026) at “Fight Island” at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
And “No Mercy” will enter the Octagon with fresh new gear.
Just four days before the Bantamweight title fight, the UFC and Venum unveiled Yan’s custom fight shorts — and they looked pretty cool.
The new Venum design draws heavily from Yan’s Russian heritage, mixing the colors of the country’s flag with traditional textile patterns while maintaining the classic black and gold palette reserved for UFC champions.
The battle kit features the Russian flag on one side, while the other features a sword, shield and wings inspired by St. Michael. Yan’s nickname “No Mercy” is also added to the crest with the colors of the Russian flag.
The personalized set adds another layer to one of the biggest fights on the UFC 333 card. Yan and Dvalishvili have split their first two matches, leaving the bantamweight rivals with one last chance to level the score.
Yan joins an elite group of fighters with custom combat pants including Jon Jones, Ilia Topuria, Max Holloway, Merab Dvalishvili, Alexander Volkanovsky, Alex Pereira, Paddy Pimblett, Julianna Pena, Alexandre Pantoja, Joshua Van and Khalil Rountreeamong a few special others.
