Merab Dvalishvili Reveals Shocking Injury Ahead of UFC 316

Reigning UFC Bantamweight Champion Merab Dvalishvili just can’t catch a break

In two weeks, Merab Dvalishvili will make the walk to the world-famous Octagon for the second time as the 135-lb gold standard. Coming off of a phenomenal performance last January over the undefeated Umar Nurmagomedov, the Georgian steamroller will seek to log another successful title defense against former foe Sean O’Malley.

Their upcoming showdown in New Jersey will set the table for what is shaping up to be an electrifying rematch after Dvalishvili ripped the belt away from the American last September.
