Longtime UFC stars Henry Cejudo and Merab Dvalishvili once again brought their rivalry to the wrestling mat in the main event of RAF 12 on Saturday night.

Cejudo, who lost to Dvalishvili at UFC 298 in 2024 in a dominant unanimous decision and again at RAF Georgia last month, got his revenge with a "stunning" 36-second pinfall victory:

In their first freestyle wrestling meeting last month, Cejudo was leading 8-0 before Dvalishvili stormed back for an 11-8 victory. This time around, Cejudo left no doubt, as the Olympic gold medalist scored a quick takedown before swiftly pinning his rival's shoulders to the mat.

"Merab is a machine," Cejudo said after his win, per Damon Martin of MMA Fighting. "I've been fighting for 13 years on my feet and I took the 'L' from him. I knew that he wasn't necessarily scrambling … obviously I got the pin."

After the victory, Cejudo set his sights on another longtime UFC veteran.

"Cody Garbrandt, you're next b---h," he said.

Dvalishvili, who is gearing up for a trilogy fight against UFC bantamweight champion Petr Yan at UFC 333 on Oct. 24, also expressed interest in returning to RAF for a rubber match against Cejudo.

"Absoutely. I love challenges," Dvalishvili said. "Henry Cejudo called me out and I said yes. He's an Olympic champion for a reason. He beat me today. Let's go for a trilogy in wrestling."
