UFC Fight 320's Co-Main Event: Dvalishvili vs. Sandhagen Betting Lines Unveiled
In the co-main event of UFC 320, scheduled for October 4, 2025, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Cory Sandhagen will face off against Merab Dvalishvili. This highly anticipated bout promises to be a thrilling encounter between two formidable bantamweight contenders.
Cory Sandhagen, currently ranked No. 4 in the official UFC bantamweight rankings, has been a force to reckon with since joining the UFC in 2018. With a record of 8-2, Sandhagen made a strong impression, winning his first five UFC fights. Notable victories include decision wins over John Lineker and Raphael Assuncao, and a spectacular "Performance of the Night" bonus-earning knockout of Frankie Edgar with a vicious flying knee.
However, Sandhagen suffered a setback when he lost to T.J. Dillashaw and then fought Petr Yan for the interim UFC bantamweight belt, losing via unanimous decision. But the American bounce back in style, securing a TKO win over Deiveson Figueiredo. His most recent victory was a stunning spinning wheel kick KO of Marlon Moraes, which earned him the No. 2 ranking in the division.
His training leading up to UFC 320 remains somewhat mysterious, as his specific head coach before the fight is not explicitly named. However, Sandhagen is associated with his training partner and gym environment that includes fighters like PFL finalist Wetzell, suggesting a strong team atmosphere.
On the other side of the octagon, Merab Dvalishvili has been on a remarkable run. The Georgian-born fighter joined the UFC in 2017 and had a rocky start, losing his first two fights. But since September 2018, Dvalishvili has been on a 12-fight winning streak.
Dvalishvili opened as a +275 favourite over Sandhagen, but Sandhagen's odds have since shifted, moving from -335 to -350 since the opening odds for the bantamweight title fight were announced.
Dvalishvili has faced and defeated notable opponents such as Marlon Moraes, Jose Aldo, Petr Yan, and Henry Cejudo. His most recent victory was a submission of Sean O'Malley in a rematch at UFC 316, where he ended the fight in the third round. Interestingly, Dvalishvili and Sandhagen have a history, with Dvalishvili defeating O'Malley in the main event of UFC 306 in September 2014.
This fight promises to be a closely contested one, with both fighters boasting impressive records and a history of spectacular finishes. With Sandhagen looking to rebound from his loss to Nurmagomedov and Dvalishvili aiming to continue his winning streak, UFC 320 is shaping up to be an exciting event.
