Mirab Devalchevili stops Sean Omali in a dominant way to keep the belt

The Merhab Dvalishvili celebrates after a tremendous victory over Sean Omali in a match from Nubia’s Nuba match at UFC 316.

There were some exceptional weights in UFC history, but it might have come to wipe Dvalishvili as the greatest of all.

Yes, even while it is still active.

Dvalishvili made the second time the second time against O’Malley and the former hero presented in the third round. No, he does not have much to win the fighting with the title TJ Dillashaw (5), Dominic Cruz (4) Or his teammate, Jamin Sterling (4) But the level of domination has shown since his work began at UFC 0-2 amazing.

Dvalishvili extended chain to 13, two behind Islam is not afraid15 for men between active fighters. He also added to his progress in successful removal operations with five against O’Malley. This brings the current group to 97 in 15 battle. The wondering point for his wonderful tour is that no fighting judge has scored for his opponent. It has been defeated Jose AldoOmali (twice), Henry Sidoand Peter Yan and Omar Nurmagomidov. All, except for Normagomidov, has held gold. Pantam weight is a loaded weight category that can be said to be the most accumulated on the date of promotion.

Watching him performing another suffocating performance against the first striker in the O’Malley, which strengthened his situation. Between his improved, it was difficult to find a fighter with a perfect combination to overcome Dvalishvili. Sandhagen appears to be in the queue and represents some challenges in its length, but the pound sterling through it in 2020 and will definitely provide indicators of his teammate on the team.

It is funny to believe that Dvalishvili received a lot of criticism of the non -fighting of the pound, but the reality is that he was loyal to his friend and simply waited for the title of the title of himself to present himself. Now that he got gold, there is no real threat to his rule. Former Pilaturt champion Incomplete He was believed to be a huge competitor, but he was passing a loss against Mario Botista on saturday.

What is scary is that Dvalishvili did not even reach its final shape. View his performance against O’Malley as a fighter that still improves and adds tools to his game. He was subjected to O’Malley was his first in UFC and only the second in his entire MMA career. Now that it has added a permanent element to his skills set, the gap between Dvalishvili and the rest of the section may widen. – cardamom

Kayla Harrison is the favorite of Amanda Nunes in my eyes

Amanda Nunes, Kayla Harrison, face after Harrison’s victory

Kayla Harrison is outperforming Juliana Benia and calls Amanda Nunes, who announces in the appraiser that she returns.

Let me exaggerate the reaction, but Shail Sunin I dropped this week’s line to UFC 316 and she grabbed me. “You are not improving anything by not doing so.”

Nunes is goat and may not change literally. I put such a legacy in MMA, almost impossible to overcome it. But Harrison fully ran through Benia. There were concerns about how it dealt with the reduction to 135 lbs and what it might do for heart disease, but it seems mainly mastered one of the most difficult weight discounts in this sport.

She is familiar with Nunes since their time as increasing partners in the American Top Team team, so there will be no “Haarison” worker to overcome it. MMA is a sport in which you can get old overnight, and although I don’t think this is what happened or will happen to the 37 -year -old Nune, I think it will be naive to expect it to return better than it was when I retired in 2023.

Sometimes, the mental rest can be great, but this short retirement does not really qualify for me. This seems as if Nunez has accomplished what she really wanted in MMA but missing this sport. I think it will look good and have a chance to win. I do not suddenly say that “Lioness” is not a hero, but Harrison is preferred in my eyes. – Outcumpoto

MIX continues in the “Jitters” theory with poor performance

I am not sure of this man in octagonal against Potista, but he was definitely not Bellator Bantamweight Champion Mix. The first UFC noise was clear due to its exceptional proportions. However, Mix completely gave up his contact card in a strange appearance and chose to make it an easy night for Boetsta by hitting it for 15 minutes.

Dana White, the CEO of UFC routinely, “Jitters Octagon”, is a term to describe the anxiety and nerves faced by nerve fighters before competing with UFC for the first time, and Mix did not do anything to dispel the idea. The mixture was slow and initially, not close to the fighter, which many believe is a competitor in the Bante weight section. His performance was equal with Patricio PitbullFor the first time in UFC against Yair Rodriguez In UFC 314 in April, which was also far from the debris machine that made him the greatest fighter in the history of Pilatury.

MIX will have a lot of opportunities to prove itself during the UFC term. But dropping a decision without even the attempt to remove until the final round against Baotista indicates that the phenomenon of appraisers may be real. – cardamom
