No 3. ranked Merab Dvalishvili defeated Jose Aldo at UFC 278 on August 20. The well-rounded Georgian rides an impressive eight-fight winning streak against fighters like Marlon Moraes, Cody Stamann and Casey Kenney.

Besides ”Chito” Vera, Dvalishvili is the only fighter that Sandhagen never competed against inside the top five of the stacked division.

”My answer is yes of course. ”Let’s go.” Dvalishvili tweeted when he got called out by Sandhagen on Saturday.
