Merab Dvalishvili (-900) vs. Gustavo Lopez (+600)
Dvalishvili (11-4) imposed his wrestling wares in close quarters repeatedly taking down late-replacement Gustavo Lopez and methodically landing ground and pound to cap a basic round for "The Machine." Moreover, the prelims saw the first end horn to signify a second five minutes.
Round two found Dvalishvili bouncing while landing refined standup on his challenger before hitting the inevitable takedown. From there, the Georgian native achieved side mount before isolating Looez's arm and applying a neck crank which the newcomer just escaped.
Give Lopez (11-5) credit for his toughness, though Dvalishvili owned the frame.
Round three became an exercise where Dvalishvili's freakish grappling strength dotted the I's and crossed the T's to secure his fourth win, this time by unanimous decision.
