David Rostomovich Khakhaleishvili ({{lang-ka|დავით როსტომის ძე ხახალეიშვილი}}; 28 February 1971 – 11 January 2021) was a heavyweight Georgian judoka, mixed martial artist and Olympic gold medalist.{{cite Sports-Reference}} He was born in Kutaisi.

Career

Khakhaleishvili was expected to defend his heavyweight Olympic title at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, U.S. in a highly anticipated match against the reigning world champion, David Douillet, but Khakhaleishvili and his coach went to the wrong location for weigh-ins and Khakhaleishvili was disqualified from the competition for failing to make weight.Rhoden, William C.
