UFC Bantamweight Champion Merab Dvalishvili’s coach, John Wood, wants to set the record straight about the Georgian’s recent toe injury.
John Wood on Merab Dvalishvili’s “Fight-Canceling” Setback
Last week, Merab Dvalishvili made a troubling post on Instagram revealing that he had apparently broken his pinky toe during a freak accident in sparring. After his training partner blocked a high kick from the incumbent, the appendage immediately began to grow purple in color, indicating a serious predicament for the 135-lb king.
Speaking with Submission Radio, Wood shed a little light on the seemingly unfortunate situation that his fighter is in, stating how Merab Dvalishvili has overplayed the injury.
