Merab Dvalishvili is poised and eager for a chance to compete for the UFC bantamweight championship.
With a remarkable 10-fight winning streak under his belt, Dvalishvili believes he has earned his shot at UFC gold. His consistent dominance in the men’s 135-pound weight class has set a new divisional record, culminating in his recent victory over Henry Cejudo at UFC 298. Despite starting his UFC journey with two losses in late 2017, Dvalishvili has proven his mettle and skill over time.
Dvalishvili’s path to the title was somewhat hindered by the championship reign of his close friend and teammate, Aljamain Sterling, from March 2021 to August 2023.
