Merab Dvalishvili and Marlon Moraes Set for RAF Abu Dhabi Rematch

The upcoming RAF event in Abu Dhabi features a bantamweight clash between former UFC champion Merab Dvalishvili and ex-contender Marlon Moraes. The two previously met at UFC 266, where Dvalishvili secured a second-round victory.

Dvalishvili enters the contest following a loss to Henry Cejudo at RAF 12 and a defeat against Petr Yan at UFC 333. Meanwhile, 38-year-old Moraes, now a law enforcement officer in South Florida, returned to the cage last summer with a unanimous decision win over Maximiliano Perez at LMC 2.

The event's headline bout features Khamzat Chimaev against Colby Covington, with additional action including a wrestling match between Arman Tsarukyan and Neiman Gracie.
