In a recent episode of “Beyond the Fight,” Chael Sonnen dives into the bizarre world of toe injuries, spotlighting Merab Dvalishvili's recent mishap in the lead-up to UFC 316. As Merab prepares for his highly anticipated rematch against bantamweight champ Sean O'Malley, fans have drawn a hilarious comparison to Conor McGregor's infamous toe moment.
Chael unpacks what happened, how it affects Merab’s training, and why this isn’t just a funny meme — it could play into the outcome of Merab vs. O’Malley 2. Conor’s own toe troubles during his UFC return stirred a similar online frenzy, but Sonnen insists there’s more to learn from both situations beyond the jokes.
Whether you’re tuning in for serious analysis or just want to see whose toe saga is more infamous, this episode adds another quirky chapter to the lead-up for one of the most anticipated fights in UFC bantamweight history.
