‘Only Better’: Robert Whittaker Says Merab's Striking Has Caught Up to His Wrestling

Whittaker said Dvalishvili’s former weakness on the feet has turned into a strength after competing against elite strikers. He noted that “over the last five fights, his striking has gotten significantly better,” crediting rounds with sharp strikers like ex-champion Sean O’Malley and Cory Sandhagen. Whittaker believes there are no weaknesses in the bantamweight champion's fighting style after his improved striking.
