UFC men’s bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili has revealed his ambitious plan to have three fights within a span of six months. The formidable fighter has already scheduled his first defense against Umar Nurmagomedov at UFC 311 on January 18 and is looking forward to the challenge.
In an exclusive interview with Brian Mazique, Dvalishvili shared his vision for the upcoming fights. When asked about potentially facing Sean O’Malley in a rematch, he expressed his willingness to grant the challenger a second chance. However, he emphasized that his primary focus lies on defeating Nurmagomedov first and ensuring a successful title defense.
The Georgian fighter also proposed three potential opponents for future bouts: Petr Yan or Umar Nurmagomedov after January 18th and, if O’Malley is prepared in time, a rematch in Miami during April. With such a packed schedule and the high level of competition he has announced, it remains to be seen whether Dvalishvili’s plan can come to fruition.
Firstly, he would need to navigate an extremely difficult first challenge against Nurmagomedov at UFC 311 on January 18th. The Russian opponent is sure to pose a stiff test for the reigning champion.
Moreover, considering the grueling nature of his upcoming fight and the short recovery period between each bout, it becomes increasingly difficult for Dvalishvili to execute his ambitious plan. It will require a tremendous amount of physical and mental stamina from the Georgian fighter.
In conclusion, while Dvalishvili’s enthusiasm is commendable, the practicality of his proposals seems dubious at best.
