Merab Dvalishvili invited coach Henry Sehudo to his corner

UFC lightweight division number two Merab Dvalishvili used the firing of coach Erik Albarracin from Henry Cejudo’s team to troll his rival.

“Now coach Henry Cejudo is with us and he will teach us how to beat him,” the Georgian fighter said in a published video where he walks alongside the Brazilian specialist.

“Coach Eric, I’ll see you in my corner on February 17,” Dvalishvili added in the commentary.

Apparently, the statement should be considered a joke, as a laughing Albarracin says ‘no-no’ in the video.

The day before, it was reported that at the start of training camp, the American fighter fired some of his coaching staff, including his head coach, Eric “The Captain” Albarracin. “Triple Crown Champion” explained his decision by the fact that he had gotten too close to these people, and wanted to conduct training in an extremely businesslike environment.

As a reminder, a potential lightweight contender fight between Merab Dvalishvili and Henry Cejudo will be part of UFC 298, which takes place on February 17 in Anaheim.
