Dvalishvili commented on Makhachev's possible move to welterweight division

Merab Dvalishvili, a top fighter in the UFC's lightweight division, spoke out about Islam Makhachev's possible move to welterweight.

"Makhachev here wants to move up to welterweight? He races a lot of weight before fights. He wants to chase less and feel better. It suits someone. My friend Aljo went up to welterweight. He had a hard time shedding pounds for the lightest division limit, the diet was very tough. After that, he would come out to a fight and not show what he was capable of. Now he doesn't need to think about weight two months before the fight. Now it's enough for him to work on it in the last two weeks," Dvalishvili told Bradley Martin.
