The Georgian fighter risks his career.
The Georgian UFC fighter Merab Dvalishvili was in the center of the scandal after the title protection. It turned out that he provided the athletic commission of California inaccurate information before the battle of Umar Nurmagomedov.
Now Merab should be held accountable.
Why did Dvalishvili go for deception?
Before going to Octagon, fighters are required to undergo a medical examination and report all injuries. However, according to Merab himself, he deliberately did not mention damage to his right leg in order to preserve the opportunity to speak. The reasons for such a decision lie in the desire not to miss the chance to conduct a significant battle, as well as in possible financial losses in case of cancellation of the match.
– The cut on the leg was still open, it healed for a long time. It completely closed a few days before the battle. Then I worried that the commission would not allow me to fight, and used creams every day, did massage and so on.
In California, a very strict commission, they checked everything on my body. During the inspection, I had pants, and the guy from the commission asked me to demonstrate his leg, the lower leg, and I raised the left leg and showed him [неповрежденную] shin. The guy continued to speak, and then asked to show another leg. I showed my left leg again. And then it all ended, he never found out about the cut, ”said Dvalishvili in an interview with journalist Ariel Helvani.
Possible consequences for Dvalishvili
After disclosure of information about the injury, the athletic commission may consider the issue of applying sanctions against a fighter. He may face a disqualification or fine, which will negatively affect his career. UFC can also take additional measures, including the removal of a fighter from performances, although it is hard to believe it.
Despite the hidden injury, Dvalishvili looked with dignity in the battle of Umar and defeated the unanimous decision of the judges. However, the desire to add drama can come out sideways.

The American believes that he can loudly declare himself and surprise the boxing world by drawing parallels with the legendary Muhammad Ali.

Former two-time world champion Tyson Rage He believes that boxer Agit Kabayel will be the first boxing star in Germany after the Klitschko brothers, who usually hold their fights here.
“Germany has been missing a bright boxing star for a long time. In the early 2000s, the country experienced a real boom thanks to the Klitschko brothers, Arthur Abraham and Marco Huck. After the end of the Klitschko era, this scene was almost empty. Now there is a gap there, and in my opinion, Agit has the capacity to be the boxer to fill this gap,” said Tyson.
Previously, former world champion Tyson Fury explained why Alexander Usyk will not fight against interim WBC champion Agit Kabayel.
