Chris Weidman Urges Psychological Adjustment for Merab Dvalishvili Ahead of UFC 333

As Merab Dvalishvili prepares to face Petr Yan at UFC 333, former UFC champion Chris Weidman believes a mental shift is necessary for Dvalishvili to succeed. Dvalishvili is looking to reclaim the bantamweight championship after losing the second bout in their series.

Weidman noted that Dvalishvili displayed a heightened level of personal animosity toward Yan during their first meeting, which he believes fueled his performance. In the second matchup, Weidman observed that Dvalishvili appeared more relaxed, suggesting that the fighter needs to recapture his original aggressive mindset to avoid repeating previous mistakes. According to Weidman, rediscovering this competitive edge is vital for Dvalishvili to regain his standing in the division.
