RAF 9: Merab Dvalishvili shuts down Frankie Edgar for tech fall victory, calls for Henry Cejudo next

Merab Dvalishvili delivered an impressive wrestling performance at RAF 9, shutting down UFC Hall of Famer Frankie Edgar via technical fall despite not coming from a traditional wrestling background. Dvalishvili began slowly but soon ramped up his offensive output, accumulating multiple takedowns to build a commanding 12-1 lead that triggered the technical superiority victory. After his dominant showing, Dvalishvili immediately called out Henry Cejudo, his original scheduled opponent for the RAF event who withdrew due to injury. The matchup marks another high-profile appearance in the Real American Freestyle promotion for the former UFC bantamweight champion, who is currently waiting for a trilogy bout with Petr Yan after losing their December rematch.
