UFC free fight: Merab Dvalishvili pulls off incredible comeback against Marlon Moraes

One of the most underrated comebacks in UFC history was done by Merab Dvalishvili against Marlon Moraes.

Back in September 2021, Dvalishvili had to go through hell and back to get his hand raised at UFC 266. Dvalishvili was badly rocked in the first round and looked to be on the brink of defeat, as he was barely hanging on for several minutes of the round. He then came back in Round 2 to stop Moraes in an incredible comeback.

You can watch Dvalishvili’s win over Moraes in the video above.

Dvalishvili (16-4 MMA, 9-2 UFC) returns to the cage against former two-division UFC champion Cejudo (16-3 MMA, 10-3 UFC) on the pay-per-view main card of UFC 298. The event takes place on Feb. 17 at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.
