Merab Dvalishvili says he broke his nose again during sparring

Former UFC bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili hasn't had a straight nose in a while, but now, it seems it will be worse than before, until his career is over. Dvalishvili (21-5 MMA, 14-3 UFC) shared a couple of selfie-style videos Wednesday on Instagram, showing off a swollen nose, initially with packing in his nostrils as he was heading to the doctor. "What a good day and what a stupid accident," Dvalishvili said.

"Again, 12 years after, my nose is f*cked up even worse. As you see, it's even more cracked same direction. When I touch, my bones are broken inside, and one side I can't even breathe.

I'm gonna do X-ray now. I'm sure UFC will help me with that, even I don't have a fight coming up. I'm gonna try to do surgery to fix this nose, and let's see how it goes.

First time when I broke my nose, it was in professional debut. Now, it was just sparring. I got kneed.
