The newest PPV is going this weekend and the UFC 320 Co-Main event sees an intriguing Bantamweight collision between the dominant champion, Merab Dvalishvili and the solid all-rounder and multi-year competition, Cory Sandhagen.
Form would suggest that the champion will regain his title. He has become unbeaten since 2018 and enjoys a 13 combat -winning run. The last time he finished former champion, Sean O’Malley through the submission of the third round. That said, Sandhagen is a puzzle with which he still has to be confronted. Sandhagen is 4-1 in its last five outings and may cause a major upset in the UFC 320 Co-Main event.
This is difficult to predict, so let’s do AI for us.
What we know so far
We know what the champion wants to do at the UFC 320 Co-Main event. He goes outside, look to overwhelm Sandhagen with his pressure, look to bring him down and dominate on the floor. It is not a complex game plan, but it is a game plan that has not failed him in recent years. Landing an incredible 5.84 Takedowns per 15 minutesMerab is ruthless. In his last five fights, he landed 34 Takedowns and tried 117 (yes, that is not a typo).
Sandhagen is a slick boxer with a taekwondo background. He uses his height, a range of 2 inches and five inch heights, to keep opponents at a distance and to have them guessed during the fight. He uses a series of different strikes to finish opponents, including flying knees and rotating wheel shovels. One of the most important attacks for the American will be

Rounds 1-2
Sandhagen will try to use his size, false movements and long strikes, pricks, pre -chicken and sloping stairs in an attempt to keep Merab at a distance. He will try to use a lot of exercise not to be pressed against the fence. The champion starts to do what he always does and mixes large about -handed that lead to Takedown attempts. The first pair may not be successful, but the inevitable will happen and he will bring Sandhagen to the ground.
Rounds 3-4
The pressure of Merab starts to stack up while Sandhagen is starting to feel the pace, especially with the constant threat of Takedown. The champion will want to stand a little longer with Sandhagen, but the challenger remains sharp and picks his moments to fire back. Dvalishvili will look to conquer and work for Takedowns when he is caught by Sandhagen. It seems that Sandhagen catches Merab and hurts him, but the Georgian will just fall for a Takedown.
Round 5
If Sandhagen is not significantly first, the fight will swing to the advantage of Merab. The conditioning and the ruthless volume of the champion will enable him to take over in the final rounds. If Merab can feel the entry, he will go for it, but he will not lose the position to risk it if it is not.
Sandhagen will fight back for the last minute of the fight and do his best to end the fight with a series of ambitious strikes. Merab will retain its distance and probably celebrate early.
Result
Merab Dvalishvili runs from the UFC 320 Co-Main event with the belt via a unanimous decision. His wrestling and pressure will tire Sandhagen both mentally and physically, leading to dominance along the piece for Merab.
However, if Sandhagen can set up his knees, Merab can be in major problems. The UFC 320 Co-Main event is without a doubt intriguing and everything will be revealed on Saturday evening.
