Off the back of his impressive UFC 311 win, Merab Dvalishvili has confirmed he is open to all comers to his bantamweight crown — including former-foe, Sean O’Malley — claiming if he’s approached with a rematch clash, he would accept it.
Co-headlining last weekend’s pay-per-view return to California, Dvalishvili defended his bantamweight crown for the first time in a grudge fight with the unbeaten, Umar Nurmagomedov.
And turning in a one-sided unanimous decision win over Nurmagomedov to snap his perfect eighteen-fight undefeated run, Dvalishvili set an incredible pace on the Russian challenger from the third round onwards, riding out an impressive unanimous decision success to retain his championship.
