The 2 fought again in February at UFC 298. Cejudo, who’s an Olympic gold medalist in wrestling, surprisingly struggled with the strain and grappling from Dvalishvili and suffered a unanimous determination loss. This outcome made it much more clear that Dvalishvili was the No. 1 contender at 135 kilos.

Dvalishvili (17-4 MMA, 10-2 UFC) returns to the cage on Sept. 14 for his first UFC title struggle. He takes on bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley (18-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) in the primary occasion of UFC 306, which is ready to go down at Sphere in Las Vegas.
