Daniel Cormier Explains Real Reason Merab Dvalishvili Despises Weight Cuts

Daniel Cormier has revealed the sole reason why reigning UFC bantamweight kingpin Merab Dvalishvili hates weight cuts.

This weekend at UFC 323, Dvalishvili attempts the fourth defense of his 135-pound championship, as he looks to be the only UFC champion to do so in 12 months. He will run it back with Petr Yan.

In an interview with CBS Sports before the bout, Daniel Cormier disclosed the only reason why ‘The Machine’ hates weight cuts. ‘DC’ revealed that the Georgian entirely cuts himself off from carbohydrates and water starting on Wednesday in an attempt to lose weight until he hits the scales on Friday.
