The son of Russian UFC lightweight champion Peter Jan Daniil will be his second in the upcoming fight against Georgian Merab Dvalishvili. This was reported by the press service of the UFC.
“He expressed a wish. Who am I to say no? The kid's an adult, playing sports. I think it’s good energy for him, said Petr Yan.
Daniel is 10 years old.
In MMA, the main task of seconds is to help the fighter recover during the break between rounds, as well as give advice during the fight.
The fight between Jan and Dvalishvili will take place on October 24 at the UFC 333 tournament in Abu Dhabi.
This will be their third fight against each other. In March 2023, the Russian conceded Dvalishvili by unanimous decision of judges. The rematch took place in December 2025. This time, Jan was stronger: the Russian won by unanimous decision of the judges and won the champion belt in the lightest weight.
