UFC 252 is the opportunity that Merab Dvalishvili has been waiting for.
When “The Machine” came into the UFC in 2017 he had a dream that he would be competing with the best bantamweights in the world, and after stringing together a dominant four-fight win streak, Dvalishvili finds himself slated to go to battle with veteran contender John Dodson. It’s Dvalishvili’s first matchup with a ranked opponent and a real chance to compete with the division’s elite.
Dvalishvili has lived up to his nickname by dominating his opponents with relentless pressure and wrestling.
