"Cory Sandhagen has a dangerous game,"
"Like flying knee, spinning kick, submission attack, good cardio, he escapes takedowns, and then he's getting up easy, quickly. And a lot of experience. But he's fighting me, and I'm an even better version [of myself] this time."
"We all know that one punch, one submission can change everything. So I recognize all the danger from Cory Sandhagen, but at the same time I'm going to do what I was training for, and it's going to be a good night for me. I believe that."
Merab Dvalishvili received a letterman jacket for 50 clean tests under the UFC Anti‑Doping program, honored by Jeff Novitzky. Novitzky described Dvalishvili as unique for maintaining elite performance while staying clean. Dvalishvili reportedly skips warmups and jumps straight into training. He characterized Cory Sandhagen as having a dangerous game with flying knees, spinning kicks, submission attacks, strong cardio, takedown escapes, and experience. Dvalishvili stated he is an even better version of himself and acknowledged that one punch or submission can change a fight. He aims to continue active title defenses, stay healthy, and maintain focus beyond awards like Fighter of the Year.
