Ilia Topuria was overjoyed with fellow countryman Merab Dvalishvili’s victory at UFC 320.
Dvalishvili looked to defend his bantamweight title for the third time against Cory Sandhagen in the co-main event at UFC 320 on Saturday. Dvalishvili landed 20 takedowns, the most ever in a UFC title fight, to defend his title via unanimous decision. Topuria congratulated his friend and fellow Georgian, Dvalishvili, on the win. While Dvalishvili’s victories seem almost inevitable to Topuria at this point, “El Matador” also acknowledged the grind that goes behind it. The Georgian-Spaniard also praised Dvalishvili as a human being apart from his performances in the Octagon.
