UFC champion in the bantamweight division Merab Dvalishvili stated that he does not plan to fight the titleholder in the weight category above Alexander Volkanovski in the foreseeable future.

“Alexander Volkanovski was a hero to me, and he still remains one, but now he is not just my idol but also my friend. I do not plan to move up to his weight division in the near future. I plan to clear my division, I do not want to try to chase everything. I will defend my title, I am comfortable in my division for now,” Dvalishvili told Sportskeeda.

Let us remind you that Dvalishvili last entered the octagon in early June, “subduing” Sean O’Malley.
