Двалишвили: Хөлийн гэмтэл тулааныг минь зогсоохгүй
UFC-ийн од Мераб Двалишвили, өөрийн гэмтсэн хөлийн хуруу нь түүнийг Шон О’Маллитай дахин тулахад саад болохгүй гэдгийг амлаж байна. Тэрээр бэлтгэлийн үеэр хөлийн хуруундаа гэмтэл авсан боловч инээдтэй байдлаар багын нөхрөө буруутган, “Яагаад миний хөлийн хурууг хугалсан бэ?” хэмээн хэлжээ. Двалишвили хэлэхдээ, хэрэв шаардлагатай бол хөлийн хуруугаа тайруулж чадахыг дурдаж, нийтлэл сошиал медиа дээр ийнхүү анхаарал татсан нь түүнийг гайхшруулжээ.
Тэрээр Лас Вегас хотын Syndicate MMA-д болсон хэвлэлийн хурлын үеэр “Хүмүүсийн хариу үйлдэлд гайхсан. Энэ үнэхээр жижиг асуудал” гэжээ. Өмнө нь болсон тулааныхаа өмнө Двалишвили өөрийн сошиал медиа дээр хүнд гэмтэл авсан зургийг нийтэлж, UFC-ийн гүйцэтгэх захирал Дана Уайт түүнийг “хэтэрхий тэнэг” гэж шүүмжилж байжээ.
Энэ удаад, Уайт Двалишвилигийн гэмтлийн талаар ямар ч тайлбар хийгээгүй ч, түүний хариу үйлдэл адилхан байх магадлалтай гэж үзэж байна. Двалишвили өөрийн хөлийг харуулж, гэмтэл нь сайжирч байгаа гэдгийг баталж, “Харж байгаачлан, хар хөх өнгө алга болсон, жаахан хавагнасан ч гайгүй болсон” гэжээ.
Энэ удаагийн эвент нь 2025 оны 6-р сарын 7-нд Нью Жерси мужийн Прүдэншл Центр-д болох UFC 316 бөгөөд тус эвентийн гол тулаан нь Двалишвили, О’Маллигийн дахин тулаан болно. Мөн тус эвентэд эмэгтэйчүүдийн дэд оргил тулаан нь Жулианна Пенья, Кайла Харрисон нарын хооронд явагдана.

Merab Dvalishvili surprised toe injury casued such a reaction: ‘Really, it’s nothing’
Merab Dvalishvili was caught off guard by how many people hit the panic button after he posted a photo of his injured toe ahead of his UFC 316 rematch against Sean O’Malley.
Мэдээний дэлгэрэнгүй:
Merab Dvalishvili promises he’s still fighting Sean O’Malley at UFC 316 and a toe injury isn’t going to throw him off his game.
The reigning UFC bantamweight champion recently post a video showing the pinky toe on his right foot was swollen after a training session where he jokingly blamed a teammate for the injury saying, “Why you break my toe?” While Dvalishvili added in the same video that he would just cut off the toe if necessary, he said Thursday he was surprised the post received so much attention.
“I was surprised at how much reaction there was from people reacting,” Dvalishvili told reporters during a media scrum at Syndicate MMA in Las Vegas. “Everybody was like [freaking out]. Guys, it’s nothing. Really, it’s nothing.”
The cause for concern likely comes from a somewhat similar situation that unfolded prior to Dvalishvili’s title fight win over O’Malley in their first encounter this past September.
Just weeks out from UFC 306, Dvalishvili showed off a photo featuring a gnarly cut that he suffered in training, which led to UFC CEO Dana White calling him “next-level stupid” for posting it on social media. While the cut didn’t endanger the fight in any way, White still blasted Dvalishvili for making the news public in the first place.
This time around, White hasn’t weighed in on Dvalishvili’s decision to reveal his toe injury leading into the second fight against O’Malley, but it’s safe to assume his reaction would be similar.
Dvalishvili took a moment to show off his foot to prove his toe already looked better and that he never expected the injury to actually affect his performance.
“As you guys see, no more black and blue, still a little fat but it’s good,” Dvalishvili said. “As you see, I’m walking. It’s a little pinky toe, it won’t be any problem. … like I said, I have nine other toes. I’m good.”
Obviously, Dvalishvili isn’t concerned about the toe injury and it appears he’s more than ready to defend his title for a second time after vanquishing Umar Nurmagomedov back in January.
