Former UFC bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili, after losing his title in December 2025, will make his RAF Wrestling debut in Philadelphia in April 2026, marking his first competition of the year. No opponent is confirmed yet, but it's near his New York training base during a break before UFC return. This move keeps him sharp amid bantamweight title picture flux. Dvalishvili's wrestling prowess could signal prep for a contenders' run, potentially eyeing rematches or top spots upon MMA comeback.
