Merab Dvalishvili vs Ray Borg 6/13/20 – UFC Fight Night Picks & Preview

UFCThe bantam weight battle here is going to be one that can definitely live up to the hype. Dvalishvili is coming into the fight with a decent record of only 4 losses in his 14 fights so far. However, he is coming in with a height and reach advantage. Borg is one fighter that has done really well in his career as well, but it is definitely one thing that will help Borg in the fight here. However, Borg has only recorded 5 losses in 18 matches.

The Machine is heading into the fight here with an orthodox stance, but he is also a striker as well. Dvalishvili in his last fight ended up picking up a unanimous decision win over Casey Kenney in his last fight. The win allowed him to improve to 10-4-0, but he is 2-1 in the TKO/KO fights so far. He is 1-0 in his submission fights so far. When it comes to significant strikes Dvalishvili has ended up getting 3.84 per minute and 37.11% of those have landed.

Borg is one fighter that can be questionable at times with an orthodox stance and a grappling style. The downside is giving up that big of a reach it could hurt Borg in trying to get in close. The last fight Borg ws involved in was a split decision loss to Ricky Simon. The loss dropped Borg to 13-5 in his career, but he is 1-0 with the TKO/KO fights and is 6-1 in the submission fights so far. Ray Borg is heading into the bout here with only 1.52 significant strikes per minute. Even at those few strikes thrown per minute he is only landing 52.18% on the bouts.

Coming into the fight here Dvalishvili has the advantage of height at 5’6” and 68 inches. He does come in weighing in at 135 pounds. Ray Borg is heading into the fight here standing at only 5’4” and 63 inches, but he does have a significant lack of reach at only 63 inches.

Odds From Betonline.ag

The fight here is going to see Borg at a complete disadvantage. He does not have the reach advantage nor does he have the height advantage. Look for that to really be a problem for Borg in the fight here and that will help Dvalishvili in getting Borg kept away from him. It will also help that Dvalishvili is able to throw more strikes and land more in his fights which will help him out once this fight goes to the judges.
