Haris Kruskic: This should be straightforward. Merab Dvalishvili, for those who don't know, is a cyborg with an unlimited gas tank. We haven't really seen any evolution of his game outside wrestling, but it truly doesn't matter when you're able to take down and suffocate opponents like he does.

Yes, he's fighting an Olympic gold medalist wrestler next. However, Henry Cejudo couldn't put it all together against Aljamain Sterling last May, and I don't foresee it being any easier a year later.

This won't be the most exciting fight, but Dvalishvili should finally cement No. 1 contention for the UFC bantamweight title with a dominant performance.

Dvalishvili by unanimous decision

Tom Taylor: I don't think Merab Dvalishvili is as good as Khabib Nurmagomedov was, but it's hard not to draw comparisons between the two. Much like Nurmagomedov, Dvalishvili is a relentless takedown artist who is capable of drowning just about anybody with his pressure, pace, and grappling. That is going to make him a very difficult guy for anybody to beat, but I believe Cejudo has the chops to make it happen.

Not only is Cejudo an Olympic-level wrestler, which should allow him to hang with Dvalishvili on the mat, but he also has cardio to match the Georgian's and way better striking. He's also a very smart fighter—contrary to some of the things he says and does outside the cage—and I'm sure he's got an excellent game plan for Dvalishvili's style.

I'm picturing a close and scramble-filled fight where Cejudo's success on the feet makes the difference in the judges' eyes. Whether that will be enough to earn him another bantamweight title shot before he retires is another question.

Lyle Fitzsimmons: As the panel's resident old guy, I'd love to come up with a tiebreaker in favor of the oft-decorated 37-year-old Cejudo.

And if this were a prime vs. prime matchup, I'd have no problem suggesting he wins by a tidy margin.

But he's not been that guy for a while, and Merab is everything everyone says he is. This reeks of a star turn against a fading legend.
