Merab Dvalishvili is one title defense in and yet, it looks like he’s basically cleaned out the bantamweight division. Against the odds, Dvalishvili (19-4 MMA, 12-2 UFC), who came in as the underdog, proved doubters wrong this past Saturday by outpointing Umar Nurmagomedov in the co-main event of UFC 311.
