Former UFC champion Merab Dvalishvili is set to challenge Petr Yan for the bantamweight title in a trilogy bout at UFC 333 on Oct. 24 at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. Ahead of the anticipated championship clash, the Georgian contender offered a lighthearted prediction about how the fight might unfold.
When a fan recently asked him how he plans to beat Yan, Dvalishvili joked about his reputation for going the distance rather than securing stoppage victories. "There are three ways to win: knockout, submission, or decision," Dvalishvili said in an interview clip shared via Instagram. "I'm a decision machine."
Known for his relentless pace, wrestling, and constant pressure, Dvalishvili has compiled 21 career victories, with 16 of them coming by way of decision. Inside the Octagon, he has recorded just two finishes: a technical knockout over Marlon Moraes in 2021 and a submission against Sean O'Malley during his second title defense last year.
