Cardio plays a crucial role in a fight, as strong endurance helps fighters last for all five rounds without tiring quickly. But doing 10-12 rounds, even in sparring, is extremely challenging. Despite this, Merab Dvalishvili is pushing his limits ahead of his fight with Umar Nurmagomedov, with his coach revealing that he’s been sparring for more than 10 rounds.
Dvalishvili’s coach, John Wood, revealed that they’ve taken his training to new levels, pushing him to spar for up to 12 rounds. What stands out, according to Wood, is that as the rounds progress, Dvalishvili actually improves rather than getting tired. In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, Wood said,
“I’ve got him up to 12 rounds. The crazy thing is that when you get into those high rounds. he just keeps getting better. I don’t know where it comes from, but the dude does not get tired.”
This will be ‘The Machine’ Merab Dvalishvili’s first-ever title defense, and he’s pushing his training to the next level. His opponent, Umar Nurmagomedov, is also training with the legendary Khabib Nurmagomedov, making this matchup even more exciting.
