Regarded as one of the best defensive wrestlers in the division and the entire organization today, former undisputed UFC featherweight champion, Jose Aldo – has been met with a wrestling challenge from opponent, Merab Dvalishvili ahead of UFC 278, who promises to take the Brazilian off his feet.
Aldo, the current #3 ranked bantamweight contender, is slated to return to the Octagon later this month against surging Georgian grappler, Dvalishvili – in a potential title-eliminator at 135lbs.
Undefeated in his last two Octagon appearances, Aldo has turned in back-to-back, vintage striking displays en route to a pair of dominant decisions wins over both Pedro Munhoz, as well as a December headlining win against Rob Font.
As for Dvalishvili, the streaking wrestling force has seen injuries hamper his recent activity inside the Octagon – with his most recent outing coming back in September where he landed his seventh straight win with a second round ground strikes win over common-foe, Marlon Moraes at UFC 266. The win earned Dvalishvili a post-fight Performance of the Night bonus.
Approaching the most high-profile matchup of his Octagon tenure to date, Dvalishvili remains confident that he can find a chink in the takedown defense armor of Aldo – who is revered as one of the promotion’s better defensive wrestlers.
“You guys will see, I’m gonna take him (Jose Aldo) down,” Merab Dvalishvili told The Schmo during a recent interview at Syndicate MMA. “You guys will see – my takedowns is different, I know he defends, he has the most – good defense, like wrestling takedown defense. You guys will see, I will take him down, I think more than three times.”
A victory for Dvalishvili would likely dislodge Aldo from his #3 perch in the division, as well as land the Georgian his eighth consecutive victory. However, given the fact his teammate – Aljamain Sterling, currently resides atop the bantamweight throne, Dvalishvili is not rushing a show at 135lbs spoils.
“Like I said, I don’t care about the title now,” Merab Dvalishvili explained. “I just wanna win against Jose Aldo, I have so much respect for him. And like, that’s all I want. I don’t care for a title shot, for now – especially at 135, like, my brother, Aljamain Sterling, he’s the king of this division.

UFC bantamweight contender Sean O’Malley has massive respect for José Aldo to the point that he wouldn’t mind Aldo getting a title shot over him.

Sean O’Malley would like a title shot if he beats Petr Yan, but wouldn’t mind waiting his turn so Jose Aldo could get a shot before him.
O’Malley has a matchup with Yan at UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi, and it is by far the biggest challenge of his career. O’Malley has fought some solid competition, but nothing like Yan. Yan is the former UFC Bantamweight champion, but lost the belt by disqualification to Aljamain Sterling the first time they met. The second time they fought, Sterling was able to inch out a decision win that could have gone either way. Sterling’s wrestling was on another level that night, as he was able to control Yan’s back in a body triangle for almost two full rounds.
Aldo on the other hand is on an impressive run in the division as well. If he beats Merab Dvalishvili, a title shot may be in the near future for Aldo. Aldo is on a three fight win streak with wins over Rob Font, Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera, and Pedro Munhoz. Aldo hd recently said that retirement may be around the corner for him, so he is going hard to solidify a title shot.
“Obviously, I haven’t gotten to prove [I belong at the top]. That Pedro [Munhoz] fight didn’t really end the way I wanted it to. But I think I proved I can hang with the top-10 guys. Jumping up to the No. 1 guy, this is a huge test and I believe I will rise to the occasion… One hundred percent [I’ll deserve the title shot]. I think he [Aldo] said he wants to beat Merab and then fight for the title. I wouldn’t mind beating up Petr and then letting Jose fight for the title and then fighting the winner of those two. Jose’s a legend and he deserves to fight for that belt.” ” (h/t MMAFighting)
O’Malley is a special talent, but he hasn’t beaten anyone inside the top 10. His fight against Pedro Munhoz, wasn’t the most spectacular outing he has had, and it surely didn’t end the way he wanted it too. Getting through Yan is no short task, so only time will tell if O’Malley will even get a chance to fight for the belt.
