Merab Dvalishvili shows off his insane cardio

Merab Dvalishvili has the kind of cardio that lets him wrestle for 25 minutes like a real machine. At UFC 320 in October 2025, Dvalishvili attempted 37 takedowns and landed 20 against Cory Sandhagen, a UFC title-fight record, while Sandhagen's corner urged him between rounds not to go full speed against what one outlet called perhaps the most demented cardio the UFC has ever seen. He became the first UFC fighter to land 100 career takedowns that night, extending a 14-fight winning streak and completing three bantamweight title defenses in one calendar year. After losing to Petr Yan at UFC 323, the relentless, explosive, dominant, devastating wrestler now chases the belt again on October 24, 2026, at UFC 333 in mixed martial arts.
