RAF is again bringing thrilling wrestling matchups for fans. In one of those matches, fans will also see Merab Dvalishvili vs. UFC veteran Frankie Edgar. Talking about this match, the former lightweight champion backed himself to handle Dvalishvili easily.
Edgar admitted he nearly stopped competing altogether after his frustrating experience in BKFC left him disappointed. However, the UFC veteran believed his wrestling experience could help him deal with the former bantamweight champion at RAF 09, despite Dvalishvili’s relentless pace and pressure. During his recent interview with MMA Fighting, the 44-year-old said:
“Fighting is definitely a young man’s sport. Would I be able to beat Merab in a fight right now the way my body is and a 15 or 25 minute fight? I don’t know. In a six-minute wrestling match, I like my chances. So that’s how I’m playing it.”
