Meeks: "Dvalishvili will take the UFC title soon"

Bellator lightweight champion Patrick Meeks expressed confidence that his teammate Merab Dvalishvili will win the UFC belt in the same category in the near future.

"I don't think you have to perform for any particular organization to be the best. My results speak for themselves. I think Merab will take the belt for himself soon. Maybe he will rule the division for a long time. And I will do it here in Bellator. It's interesting to watch the UFC guys, but my resume also speaks for itself. I'm a champion," Inside Fighting quotes Meeks as saying.

Recall that Meeks had his last fight last November, defeating Sergio Pettis with a choke hold.
