Merab Dvalishvili’s CRAZY Preparation For A Fight

Merab Dvalishvili, the UFC bantamweight champion, is far from ordinary. He has phenomenal conditioning and seemingly endless stamina. This year, he broke the record for the most takedowns in UFC history, with a whopping 117, previously held by the legend Georges St-Pierre with 90.

Merab Dvalishvili: The Record Breaker

In his recent title fight, Dvalishvili took down Cory Sandhagen 20 times, making ‘The Sandman’s takedown defense appear more like that of a sand castle. This set the record for the most completed takedowns by a fighter in a UFC title fight, and it was only one takedown shy of equalling Khabib Nurmagomedov’s record for the most takedowns in any UFC fight ever.
