Two years and one month later, Merab Dvalishvili is returning to the scene of the crime at Prudential Center.

On Saturday, he will look to make it case-closed against Sean O’Malley in their bantamweight championship rematch in the UFC 316 main event, nine months after the Republic of Georgia native took the title off his rival.

“Now, he’s going to try to take my belt back,” former New York construction worker Dvalishvili told The Post earlier this week, “but I’m not going to give it.”

Long before Dvalishvili snagged O’Malley’s gold, though, he nabbed his clothes.
