After his UFC 323 win, Petr Yan appears to be getting his payback for all of Merab Dvalishvili's pre-fight trash talk. In a recent post on X, 'No Mercy' issued a vicious clapback aimed at one of Dvalishvili's long-running gags, and fans are loving it.

During the pre-fight media scrum, 'The Machine' invited Yan to join him for an R&R hot tub session after the fight. The invite, however, is part of an ongoing joke he has weaponized ever since his UFC 311 fight against Umar Nurmagomedov.

The inception of the joke traces back to when he trolled the Dagestani over a photo of his teammates, Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev, sharing a hot tub with several other men.

Hilariously, as Dvalishvili extended a Jacuzzi invite to Yan before UFC 323, he ended up getting trolled himself. 'No Mercy' fired back, accusing him of only inviting men to his hot tub sessions.

The joke has now further backfired after Dvalishvili's unanimous decision loss at the T-Mobile Arena. Earlier today, Yan posted an AI-generated image of himself in a hot tub with several women, while 'The Machine', dressed as a waiter, served the drinks.

Suffice it to say, fans had a laugh or two at Dvalishvili's expense.

@WestAsianMMA chimed in:

"Yan owns the bantamweight division now. We all thought it was between Jacuzzi boys, Umar, and Merab."

@imreggiedejesus opined:

"Now this is great use of AI."

@Sheikhthings noted:

"That Jacuzzi shtick has really backfired on Merab."

Petr Yan not ready for an immediate rematch with Merab Dvalishvili

Petr Yan is not ready to grant Merab Dvalishvili an immediate rematch despite being 1-1 against 'The Machine'. As the Russian sees it, the former champion should run it back with Umar Nurmagomedov to earn his way back to title contention.

Addressing potential title defenses during the post-fight press conference, 'No Mercy' reminded the MMA world that he himself had to string together a three-fight win streak before securing another title shot:

"You saw the fight of Merab vs. Umar. You saw the way the fight went. So, who is more dangerous? They can rematch, and we can see what happens... Just understand the fact that for me to get the opportunity to fight for the belt again, UFC made me go three more fights before I was able to get to the contender position again."
