It has been a long road, but Cody Stamann will finally get back in the octagon to face Merab Dvalishvili this weekend.
The bantamweight showdown takes place on the main card of Saturday’s UFC Vegas 25 event at the APEX. “The Spartan” was originally set to face Dvalishvili in December before an injury forced Stamann out of the matchup. The fight was scheduled to be re-booked in February before Dvalishvili tested positive for COVID-19, which led to more unfortunate events along the way.
With Dvalishvili’s scratch, Andre Ewell was slotted in to face Stamann at UFC Vegas 18 before a positive COVID-19 test forced Ewell out of the matchup.
