Merab Dvalishvili Ready to “Throw Hands” And Have a Striking War with Cory Sandhagen

Merab Dvalishvili plans on throwing hands with Cory Sandhagen.

Returning to the Octagon for the second time in 2025, ‘The Machine’ will look to secure his third bantamweight title defense when he puts his gold up for grabs against Sandhagen in the UFC 320 co-main event.

Sitting on a 13-fight win streak, Dvalishvili is best known for his wrestle-heavy attack that has taken him from contender to world champion. But this weekend, the Georgian plans on showing the world that his stand-up game is just as dangerous as his work on the mat.
