Merab Dvalishvili is set to defend his Bantamweight title for the second time when the Octagon returns to Newark, New Jersey.
On June 7, DvalishHvili will try to correct the mistakes he made against Sean O'Malley for the first time to record an even more dominant performance.
After defending his belt this year in a big collision with Umar Nurmagomedov, 2025 is a large year for 'The Machine' if he can keep his belt in a rematch with 'Suga'.
Many people have weighed with their view of the main event, including the last man who defeated Dvalishvili, who spoke about the keys to beat the Georgian.
The defending champion has now received a message of support from one of his closest allies on the Roster, Ilia Topuria.

Ilia Topuria sends a message from support and encouragement to Merab Dvalishvili on social media
When Merab Dvalishvili Sean O'Malley defeated UFC 306 to win the Bantamweight title, he became the second Georgian hunter who held UFC Gold.
The first was Ilia Topuria that Alexander Volkanovski eliminated on UFC 298 in the same year to become the featherweight champion.
Although 'El Matador' would leave the title once he had defended it to go to lightweight, he and Dvalishvili brought an incredible success back to their country, although Topuria also represents Spain, where he currently lives.
Since his upcoming fight for the empty lightweight belt was announced, the unbeaten star has been somewhat silent on social media, apart from a few short videos of his preparations.
Topuria's newest post on X showed him that he sent a message from support to Dvalishvili, because the champion on the big stage still wants to produce a big win for Georgia.
“The victory is yours, brother.”
Ilia Topuria will try to claim another UFC belt for Georgia later this month
June could be a huge month for Georgian MMA fans with Merab Dvalishvili who kicks out the action with his Bantamweight title defense on UFC 316.
Later this month, Ilia Topuria will make his long -awaited return while he steps into the octagon as a fully -fledged lightweight.
'El Matador' will be confronted with Charles Oliveira for the empty belt of 155 pounds that was left behind by Islam Makhakev while the Russian success seems to achieve in Welterweight.
Dvalishvili will certainly give back the favor by showing his support for Topuria prior to a massive title conflict on International Fight Week.
