Merab Dvalishvili willing to fight up two weight classes once UFC fights resume, but eyes Sean O’Malley

Global pandemic or not, Merab Dvalishvili wants to fight as soon as possible.

After earning a unanimous decision win over Casey Kenney at UFC Rio Rancho, “The Machine” has won his last three fights in a loaded bantamweight division. Dvalishvili broke the UFC record for most takedowns in a 135-pound fight when he landed 12 successfully against Kenney in February.

“I’m happy (with the performance),” Dvalishvili told MMA Fighting on What the Heck. “I’m happy to get another record and I can’t wait for my next fight. I’m happy that I made my team, my country and my friends proud.
