Several days have passed since his controversial loss to Ricky Simon at UFC Fight Night 128, but Merab Dvalishvili is still trying to pick up the pieces and figure out what happened. In what was seemingly a first in UFC history, Simon (13-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) was awarded a TKO victory at UFC Fight Night 128 despite Dvalishvili (7-4 MMA, 0-2 UFC) making it to the final horn of their bantamweight fight. Dvalishvili, 27, was arguably getting the better of Simon until the late stages of the preliminary-card matchup at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. Then, as Dvalishvili shot in for a takedown, Simon applied a guillotine choke, which was locked in for roughly the final 50 seconds of the fight
