Best Merab Dvalishvili Fights

The rematch confirmed that O’Malley still could not create enough space to change the fight. Merab’s pressure remained effective even after every tactic was known.

Dodson’s speed and left hand rarely found room because Merab crowded him, wrestled and kept resetting the pressure. Neutralizing that athleticism was a serious achievement.

Kenney matched Merab’s pace better than expected, forcing competitive scrambles and exchanges. The Georgian’s volume still separated him over three exhausting rounds.

Merab attempted a record number of takedowns and kept Yan defending for five rounds. The pace erased one of the division’s best counterpunchers.

Moraes nearly finished Merab early, but the Georgian survived, recovered and overwhelmed him in the second round. The comeback captures his durability and pace.

Merab dominated long stretches before a final-second guillotine produced a confusing technical-submission loss. The ending remains bizarre and endlessly debatable.

Cejudo’s Olympic wrestling could not stop Merab from repeatedly reaching the hips and winning later exchanges. The result removed the last résumé-based doubt.

Aldo defended takedowns but spent most of the fight trapped against the fence. It was not beautiful, yet Merab followed a disciplined plan against a legend.

O’Malley could not establish range as Merab mixed takedowns, clinch pressure and constant movement. The performance turned years of work into a UFC title.

Yan finally punished predictable entries, controlled distance and made Merab pay for frantic volume. The loss showed where pace stops being an automatic solution.
