Merab Dvalishvili headlines an RAF event in his native Georgia and he’s bringing an old friend with him.
Saturday’s RAF Georgia main event sees former bantamweight champions Dvalishvili and Henry Cejudo compete against each other for the first time since Dvalishvili beat Cejudo at UFC 298 in February 2024. Their rematch takes place on the RAF mats, with Dvalishvili aiming to score a second win over the Olympic wrestling gold medalist.
2016 Olympic champion Kyle Snyder faces a stiff test in the co-main event as he defends his RAF light heavyweight title against longtime Abdulrashid Sadulaev, the man who denied Snyder a second gold when he defeated him in the 97-kg finals of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Snyder and Sadulaev have faced off on multiple occasions, with Sadulaev holding a 3-2 series advantage (including a medical forfeit in 2023 in what was to be their fifth matchup).
RAF Georgia streams live on Fox Nation, beginning at 12 p.m. ET.
