Las Vegas -From UFC 320, Bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili brought the record into the title defense in a year and UFC Takedown record has been extended to an absolutely insane 117.
The next nearest hunter in that category is the legendary Georges St-Pierre. With 90. About a larger number of fights.
Dvalishvili set up a dominant show on Saturday and came close to Cory Sandhagen in the second round of their Co-Main Event Fight. More impressive, the Takedown after removal that ‘the machine’ landed over the five -round affair.
“I had about 20 Takedowns, and this is of course good,” said Dvalishvili after his 14th consecutive victory and spoke with media stores including Cageside Press. “There were a few moments during the fight, I left because I thought of” This is another for my Takedown record. ” I just did it because of the plate. “
With the praises that accumulate and call Dana White Dvalishvili the Bantamweight goat, Merab added: “I am just grateful for everything: what I am, how far I came. As I said before, I just get better. And I think this is the start for me, but now I stay hard and stay hard and stay hard and stay hard and stay hard and stay hard and stay hard and stay hard and stay hard and stay hard and stay hard and stay hard and stay hard and stay hard and stay hard and stay hard and stay hard and stay hard and stay hard and stay hard and stay hard and hard.”
Merab Dvalishvili has now set his sights on breaking the record that he bound on Saturday: he wants a title defense this calendar year, hopefully at the last Pay-per-View of 2025.
“I would like to fight in December. Because otherwise I have many opportunities to travel somewhere – it’s good, I think it’s great, I enjoy where I’m going, but it’s going to take my fight,” Dvalishhvili said. “Most I enjoy is this feeling, fighting. I want to be busy. I don’t want to wait too much. The next competition, I think Petr [Yan] is [on a] Three Fight Win Streak, he is a former champion and I think he deserves a title fight. I think so. If the UFC wants, I am ready to fight in December, no problem. “
Yan defeated Dvalishvili in 2023, but has no problem fighting him again more than two years later. He also has no problem fighting somewhere, it seems, although he would like the UFC to go to his native Georgia.
“You need money for that. We try,” he said to Cageside Press, to add that “we are hunters, and we have much more talented hunters who can fight UFC Georgia. I will do my best to help UFC, or help Georgian government to make this happen.”
