Overview

• Dvalishvili defends the bantamweight title against Cory Sandhagen at UFC 320 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
• A win would tie the bantamweight record of three UFC title defenses, as Aljamain Sterling already calls Dvalishvili the division’s GOAT regardless of the result.
• The champion enters on a 13-fight winning streak with victories over Sean O’Malley, Petr Yan, José Aldo and Henry Cejudo, and this will be his third fight of 2025.
• Head coach John Wood says Dvalishvili plans to fight again in December if healthy, with a Petr Yan rematch positioned as a likely “victory lap.”
• Sandhagen is seen as a genuine threat through his reach, creative striking and sharpened wrestling under Trevor Wittman in a classic style contrast with Dvalishvili’s pressure and takedowns.
