Dvalishvili will face UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley within the UFC 306 most important occasion on September 14 in Las Vegas. The occasion marks the primary main sporting occasion held on the Las Vegas Sphere.
Forward of UFC 306, Dvalishvili gave MMA followers a short scare when he shared footage of him getting a head minimize stitched up on his social media pages. The submit infuriated White, who referred to as Dvalishvili “next-level silly” for sharing it.

As you see, I’m healed up. Every little thing is nice…

I don’t remorse nothing. That is who I’m, that is what I do, and that is my life. That’s why I’m a fighter, and that is my life and what I do.”
