UFC lightweight title challenger Merab Dvalishvili revealed that he knocked himself out in his second fight under the auspices of the promotion.

"In the second fight I faced a very strong opponent - Ricky Simon. He was good at everything and I tried to beat him. I was throwing punches, trying to win by sub-mission, but nothing was working. With only a minute left in the fight, I decided I was going to put him down and finish the fight on top. I got up and jumped, but I hit my head on the floor and passed out.

At this time he grabbed me by the neck and attempted a choke hold. I didn't tap and kept fighting, but the ref thought I was out and stopped the fight. After that I realized that I need to be smarter," - quotes Dvalishvili MMA Mania.

Recall, the fight Dvalishvili and Simon took place in April 2018. The Georgian fighter lost technically by knockout in the third round.
