🥊 Merab Dvalishvili vs. Cory Sandhagen preview: UFC 320

Dvalishvili thrives on relentless pressure, elite wrestling, and endless cardio. He breaks opponents with chained takedowns, cage control, and nonstop scrambles, as shown in consecutive wins over Sean O’Malley.

Sandhagen brings creativity and length, mixing kicks, knees, and spinning attacks to create chaos. But Merab has been repeatedly neutralizing rangy strikers while denying space and forcing clinches. Sandhagen's best shot is early damage before Merab gets into a groove, using long kicks and knees to deter entries. Over five rounds, though, it’s tough to envision Sandhagen stopping Merab’s pressure without slowing and getting controlled.

Merab’s pressure style is a nightmare for rangy strikers. He’s already proven he can suffocate movement-heavy opponents and drag them into deep water. Unless Sandhagen pulls off a lightning-bolt finish, Dvalishvili’s gas tank and grappling should control this fight from bell to bell.

🔥 Dvalishvili by submission or decision (-240)

Sandhagen has never been knocked out in the UFC, and Dvalishvili doesn’t possess the striking power to change that tonight. What he does have is relentless wrestling and a sneaky submission game — just ask O’Malley, who was choked out in their rematch.

This double chance here covers Merab grinding to a clear decision or finding a finish on the mat.
