"I want to fight the best of the best. If I get Figueredo, he will be the 5th champion on my record. He's more than dangerous - there's knockout power, good jiu-jitsu skills. He knocks people out and guys like that motivate me. When I think about the fight with Figueiredo, I get all fired up, I immediately want to work on myself with double my strength.
Oumar? He's not bad. But he's only won one fight in the top 15, against Corey Sandhagen. And look what Aljamain Sterling did to Sandhagen - he sent him to sleep. Let Umar fight Peter Yan first," Dvalishvili said at the press conference.
Recall that Dvalishvili became champion at UFC 306, defeating Sean O'Malley by unanimous decision of the judges.
