Merab Books RAF Wrestling Debut in April

Former UFC bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili will make his RAF Wrestling debut in Philadelphia in April, marking his first competition since losing his title in December 2025. The event is near his New York training base, signaling his return to action outside MMA. No opponent is confirmed yet. This matters for the bantamweight division as it keeps Dvalishvili active and visible amid his UFC comeback wait. Expect him to use this to sharpen wrestling skills before re-entering title contention.
