Dvalishvili is ready to back up the O’Malley-Vera fight

Georgian bantamweight fighter Merab Dvalishvili announced his readiness to become a reserve fighter in the fight between the division champion Sean O'Malley And Marlon Vera, which will take place on March 9 in the main event of UFC 299 in Miami.

“My only goal at the moment is a championship fight. I believe in myself and with every fight I only become better. Every fight goes much easier for me. In the fight with Cejudo, I didn’t even feel tired.

I felt comfortable in this fight, and this is just the beginning. I still have many years ahead of me. So I’m ready to become a reserve fighter for the rematch between O’Malley and Vera. I need five days to make the required weight. If you need a replacement, I'll be there for you. If not, then I still enjoy working out. I would like Sean to keep the belt because I want to fight with him,” Dvalishvili was quoted as saying by MMA Junkie.
