Merab Dvalishvili’s coach, John Wood, isn’t worried about his fighter’s latest injury.
Dvalishvili is scheduled to defend his bantamweight title in a rematch against Sean O'Malley in the main event at UFC 316 on June 7 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. “The Machine” revealed a nasty injury to his right pinky toe just two weeks away from his title defense against O’Malley. Dvalishvili appeared to have broken his toe, allegedly from landing a head kick on his training partner.
While Wood also believes Dvalishvili’s toe is broken, he not bothered.
