UFC lightweight champion Ilia Topuria and former UFC bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili recently tested their power on the always-telling punching machine and both Georgians passed with flying colors.
Topuria, who is currently taking a hiatus from fighting to handle some personal issues, joined forces with Dvalishvili this week for a little Christmas Bro Down. The two enjoyed a laundry list of activities, which included a session with the punching machine to see how their power stacks up against some of the best fighters in the world.
As you may have guessed, both Topuria and Dvalishvili delivered huge strikes to the punching machine. Topuria, who is one of the most vicious knockout finishers in the sport today, registered a whopping score of 2,801. Dvalishvili, on the other hand, topped the machine at 2,507, which is still very respectable.
Check out the footage below:
Topuria, 28, is coming off a massive knockout finish over Charles Oliveira at UFC 317 to claim the 155-pound title and make himself a two-division champion. The victory pushed Topuria’s current UFC win streak to nine, but fans want him back sooner rather than later. Dvalishvili, 34, is coming off a title fight loss to Petr Yan at UFC 323 earlier this month, which snapped a 14-fight win streak for the Georgian star.
