Sharing on his personal page, Merab Dvalishvili said he had pain in his hands during training. After checking, the doctors said the pain was worse than the original prediction. The Georgian boxer was forced to sit out for a while to completely treat injury to be able to think of future matches.
According to doctors' estimates, Merab will have to rest 3-4 months to completely recover. This may affect his schedule in the near future, when the Gruzia boxer is nearly a championship match. It took him 6 years in the UFC arena to have the same position as the present time.
In the last match at UFC, Merab completely defeated Petr Yan with a series of opponents falling in all 3 rounds. It was the match of Gruzia boxer who was completely overwhelming against the opponent. After the victory of Petr Yan, Merab was also promoted to the first rank UFC Bantamweight.
Merab Dvalishvili was born in 1991, with Judo black belt and Jujitsu purple belt. He is considered one of the most notable faces of UFC recently despite the beginning. After parting with the Ring of Combat arena with the championship, Merab went to UFC and received defeat in the first 2 matches.
But since the defeat of Ricky Simon 5 years ago, Merab has gone through a series of 9 consecutive wins. The two most recent generals of Merab are all monuments of UFC: Jose Aldo and Petr Yan. Currently Merab is considered the leading candidate for the Bantamweight weighing championship, but he is also hesitant because he is a friend who practices regularly with the Aljamain Sterling champion.
