In a recent video posted by UFC on Paramount+ on X, Dvalishvili made predictions for several key matchups at UFC 329.
Picking between flyweights Brandon Royval and Lone’er Kavanagh, Dvalishvili sided with Royval. For Cory Sandhagen vs. Mario Bautista, the former champion said, “It’s gonna be a great fight between Cory Sandhagen and Mario Bautista, but I have to go with Cory Sandhagen.” For the co-main event, the Georgian picked St. Denis to beat Pimblett.
“The Machine” was then asked about McGregor’s long-awaited return to the Octagon, which will be a rematch against Holloway 13 years in the making. “I love Conor McGregor so much, and I have so much respect for Max Holloway,” Dvalishvili said. “I want to see Conor McGregor win because he’s been away from fighting for a long time and he’s done so much for the sport, and he deserves to win this time. Yeah, I am rooting for Conor McGregor a little more.”
UFC 329 goes down on Saturday, July 11, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
