Merab Dvalishvili Says He Won’t Switch Weight Classes Like Ilia Topuria or Islam Makhachev

Merab enters his Dec. 5 rematch with Petr Yan riding a 14-fight win streak and preparing for his fourth title defense of 2025. “At this moment, I’m happy where I am,” he said. “I want to defend my belt. If the UFC asks for super-fights, no problem, but right now I’m focusing on my division.” So far, he has defeated big names like Sean O’Malley & Umar Nurmagomedov.
