Speaking about his next fight, Merab Dvalishvili called out him for a title fight in December. In an interview with Aaron Bronsteter of TSN, Dvalishvili said: “One thousand percent, I will be ready… The doctor just told me I can start training. I can start slowly punching and grappling, but even fight is next month, I would be ready… I’m just going to ignore the pain, and I’m just going to fight. Definitely December, I will be ready.”
