Dvalishvili is an endurance specialist who wins by breaking your spirit and your gas tank. He will attempt 40+ takedowns if necessary to keep you defensive. To beat him, you must punish his entries with high-damage counters and refuse to stay pinned against the cage; if you allow him to initiate a clinch, you are playing his game.
A high-output pressure wrestler known as 'The Machine.' He utilizes an unmatched aerobic capacity to chain-wrestle and overwhelm opponents with pace rather than individual power shots.
Currently on an 11-fight win streak in the UFC, most recently capturing the Bantamweight title. He has consistently dominated former champions through sheer activity and wrestling dominance.
Disrupt his rhythm with lateral movement and intercepting strikes to prevent him from setting his pace.
Stay off the centerline; use front kicks and knees to the body to drain his energy on entry.
Do not concede the underhooks; use a whizzer and heavy hips to break contact immediately.
Prioritize wall-walking and technical stand-ups over hunting for submissions from the bottom.
