Video: How long can Merab Dvalishvili rule the UFC bantamweight division?

Merab Dvalishvili is one title defense in and yet, it looks like he’s basically cleaned out the bantamweight division.

Against the odds, Dvalishvili (19-4 MMA, 12-2 UFC), who came in as the underdog, proved doubters wrong this past Saturday by outpointing Umar Nurmagomedov in the co-main event of UFC 311. Dvalishvili is now on a 12-fight winning streak, which is composed of victories over most top contenders in the division.

With that in mind, how long can Dvalishvili’s reign as champion at 135 pounds extend? Who can dethrone him at this point?

MMA Junkie’s Brian “Goze” Garcia, Mike Bohn, Danny Segura and host Gorgeous George discuss Dvalishvili’s big win over Nurmagomedov and weigh-in on his potential future opponents.

Watch their discussion in the video above, and don’t miss this week’s complete episode of “Spinning Back Clique” below on YouTube.
