Merab Dvalishvili Rules Out Fighting Alexander Volkanovski Even If He Moves Up

Merab (21-4) said, “I have so much respect and love for Alexander Volkanovski. I could never challenge him.” Having already beaten Sean O’Malley and Umar Nurmagomedov, he added, “I have a tough opponent, and I want to focus on my weight class.” Now, the bantamweight champ defends his title against Petr Yan at UFC 323 in December, his fourth fight this year.
