Friend and training partner Merab Dvalishvili, aljamain sterling dared in his guess for the confrontation between the partner and Henry Cejudo. Keeping an eye on the confrontation that takes place in UFC 298 and could define the next challenger for the bantamweight belt (up to 61,2kg.), the former group champion bet on the Georgian, but took a big risk in the outcome.

“Cejudo does well when he adopts a karate stance. If you get close, he has a good right hand. My initial guess is that Merab Dvalishvili wins in the third round, by knockout. Merab is not a finisher. I won't reveal any secrets, but Merab has some tricks,” said Sterling, on his YouTube channel. YouTube.
