The Georgian defeated the Dagestani by unanimous decision.
"I'm always training, I'm a machine. When I took this fight, I had a shin injury, a big cut and an infection, I took the fight on six weeks notice. My leg was hurting all the time, plus I had lower back pain.
Umar is a tough fighter, but he's good. He called me old, yeah I'm old, but I plow through every day and I'm an old school man. I believe in the old school. Don't let anybody bully you and underestimate you. The whole world was against me, but I don't care, I believed in myself and did hard work," Dvalishvili stated.
