Merab Dvalishvili will hope that his greatest strength will make the way free for another crucial victory over Sean O'Malley.
Dvalishvili will defend his title against O'Malley in the main event of Saturday UFC 316 Pay-per-View.
The Rematch comes to the atmosphere eight months after their first collision, where the Georgian realized its title dreams with a dominant five-round display.
The victory of Dvalishvili was forged by a remarkable feature to which a number of big names have fallen victim to the UFC – and that has a lot of awe.

Matt Serra and Joe Rogan praised Merab dvalishvili's incredible cardio
Apart from his humorous online skits and frequent quarrels with fans away from the Octagon, DvalishVili is known for an incredibly impressive force – cardio.
'The Machine' is known for realizing its name, and that was most recently to be seen when Dvalishvili Umar Nurmagomedov survived on UFC 311.
And even before he won the Bantamweight title and recorded his first defense, Dvalishvili received many compliments for his never -ending gas tank.
Among those who praised him Joe Rogan and Matt Serra during episode 154 of the JRE MMA show. The last one, who had long been a member of the corner of the champion in the UFC, went so far that he said he has never seen cardio like Dvalishvilis.
“Merab, the thing is with Merab, I've never seen it – I have never seen such a gas tank in all my years. I have never done that.”
Rogan reflected that sentiment and explained that the speed of the bantam weight hunter makes it all the more impressive.
“He is a wild one,” said Rogan. “It is incredible. It is incredible because it is not like it is slow. Like, you generally associate really high level endurance with boys who may not have the kind of power [and speed] He has … he is an animal. “
Rogan repeated that sentiment more recently while he spoke with Dvalishvili's countryman, former spring-two champion Ilia Topuria.
“I just don't understand that cardio,” said Rogan. “It's like superhuman cardio.
“To see him start to wilt. You see the wiggle when boys start to get tired, Merab had no, zero. That man is a machine.”
Merab Dvalishvili's record-breaking UFC-Run since a start of 7-4 of his MMA career
Although Dvalishhvili is currently a rapid turnout in the direction of a historic Bantamweight, he has not always found success in the UFC.
In mid-2018, 'The Machine' saw far from position on 135 pounds after successive defeats against Frankie Saenz and Ricky Simon left him 0-2 in the UFC and 7-4 in Professional MMA.
The Georgian highlight has since won 12 consecutive fights (one catch), including triumphs about Nurmagomedov, O'Malley, Henry Cejudo, Petr Yan, Jose Aldo and Marlon Moraes.
Dvalishvili's series of 11 straight victories in Bantamweight is a UFC record.

And the Bantam weight champion also has a general record in all weight classes, after he has collected the most removals in the UFC history.
Should Dvalishhvili overcome again at Sean O'Malley, he will probably expand his lead in that category at UFC 316.
