Merab Dvalishvili thinks posting a picture of a cut on his eyelid ahead of a title fight wasn’t that big of a deal.
thinks posting a picture of a cut on his eyelid ahead of a title fight wasn’t that big of a deal.on Sept. 14 at The Sphere in Las Vegas. “The Machine” recently posted a picture of a cut he suffered in sparring on his right eyelid, much to the ire of Dana White. White went off on Dvalishvili during a press conference, deeming it extremely “dumb” of the Georgian contender to reveal a cut ahead of a title fight.
If anything, Dvalishvili believes all the panic he created could help draw more eyes on his clash against “Sugar.” Dvalishvili further went on to open the stitches on his cut by himself with a pair of kitchen scissors at which point White thought “The Machine” was just “f—ing with” him. Dvalishvili claims opening his own stitches is also routine for him.
“That’s how I always do,” he said. “I get cut all the time and I take stitches myself. It was normal for me to just take stitches out by myself. I realized later it was big scissors. First when I tried to take stitches out I was trying to take out with a knife. But then knife wasn’t cutting and it was a little painful. Then I go inside and I grab the scissors. I’m sorry I don’t have a small scissors. I grab kitchen scissors.
