The Merab Dvalishvili training camp for Sean O'Malley did not go according to plan.
The UFC Bantamweight Champion is 15 days from its title Rematch with Sean O'Malley on UFC 316 and fans are starting to worry if Merab Dvalishvili will reach the Octagon.
Dvalishvili is currently running on a fantastic win with 12 fights and already has a victory over O'Malley, with the champion denying the atmosphere in the atmosphere last September.
Looking for 2-0 against 'The Sugar Show' in New Jersey, DvalishVili sustained a brutal cut under his eye earlier this month, but that seems to be the least of his problems after his last injury.

Merab Dvalishvili broke his toe in a recent training session
On Friday, Dvalishvili struggled with unbeaten Prospect Cameron Sandoval and apparently broke his pink toe on a main kick.
Dvalishvili filmed the aftermath and showed the swollen pink on his right foot.
“Why are you breaking my toe, my friend?” Dvalishvili asked his teammate Sandoval.
“That was you, you kicked me in the head and broke your toe. That's just wrong,” Sandoval replied.
Dvalishvili made jokes about taking drastic measures to ensure that his title fight with O'Malley remains intact.
“It's okay … I'm going to cut it off,” said Dvalishvili about his broken toe.
Conor McGregor withdrew from his last fight because of the same injury
As you might remember, Conor McGregor suffered a broken pink toe last summer in the run-up to his comeback fight.
McGregor was supposed to be confronted with Michael Chandler in the main event of UFC 303 three years after he broke his leg against Dustin Poirier on UFC 264, however, a week of the event, McGregor withdrew because of the toe injury.
'The notorious' had never been pulled out of a fight before, with reference to that he would not take the walk' again 'hindered' and that he would be '100% Conor McGregor' his next time.
A 'machine' inside and out of the training room, it does not seem that Merab Dvalishvili will have this injury delayed or from his fight against Sean O'Malley on UFC 316, although the only concern causes.
