The official base Prizm Rookie Card of Merab "The Machine" Dvalishvili — card #87 from 2021 Panini Prizm UFC. The base Prizm design is clean, sharp and iconic: the bold black geometric frame with the signature Prizm circuit-board corner cuts, the "PANINI PRIZM" logo at the top centre, RC badge top left, UFC logo top right in red, and "MERAB DVALISHVILI / BANTAMWEIGHT" in crisp white text at the bottom. The photo is absolutely electric — Merab mid-celebration, mouth wide open screaming in pure joy, both fists clenched at his sides, shirtless in UFC shorts, the Octagon cage glowing behind him. This is the face of a man who never stops, never tires, and never loses belief. A card that captures the essence of The Machine perfectly.

The Machine who never fatigues
As the back of this card puts it: "Merab 'The Machine' Dvalishvili certainly has an apt nickname. A standout in the Russian grappling art of sambo, Dvalishvili seemingly never fatigues as each fight goes on. The bantamweight wrestled his way to five straight decision victories from 2018-20." Merab went on to become the UFC Bantamweight Champion — one of the most relentless, high-output fighters in MMA history, with a wrestling engine that simply never stops. This base Prizm RC is the definitive early card of a champion, captured right at the start of his ascent.
