Former UFC bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili captured a win over former foe Marlon Moraes earlier today (Sat., Nov. 14, 2026) at RAF Abu Dhabi LIVE on FOX Nation from inside Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
This comes just a few days after Dvalishvili was jumped by Usman Nurmagomedov and a collection of his goons.
Fight fans didn’t know if Merab was going to stay on Saturday’s RAF card in Abu Dhabi after what happened earlier this week. Dvalishvili spent some time in prison and
had to pay a small fine for his involvement, but was eventually released and cleared to compete against Moraes. The decision was impressive considering Dvalishvili’s face was badly beaten up from Team Nurmagomedov.
Dvalishvili, who is considered one of the best grapplers in the UFC’s bantamweight division, looked locked in from the opening bell. The former UFC champion eventually worked his way into position to pin Moraes and walk away with an incredible win.
