Idman.biz reports that Georgian Merab Dvalishvili, the world champion in the bantamweight division (61 kg), has risen to second place in the organization's list of best fighters after his victory in the rematch against American Sean O'Malley.

UFC "Pound-for-Pound" Rankings:
1. Islam Makhachev (Russia)
2. Merab Dvalishvili (Georgia)
3. Jon Jones (USA)
4. Ilia Topuria (Georgia)
5. Dricus du Plessis (South Africa)
6. Magomed Ankalaev (Russia)
7. Alexander Volkanovski (Australia)
8. Jack Della Maddalena (Australia)
9. Alex Pereira (Brazil)
10. Alexandre Pantoja (Brazil)

Dvalishvili and former UFC welterweight champion American Belal Muhammad will be the star guests of the UFC tournament in Baku.

The tournament will be held on June 21 at the "Baku Crystal Hall".
