At the beginning of the fight, I told Merab, 'Merab, you need to be patient.' That's when he freaked out and went off, reacting unexpectedly to my advice.
The bizarre moment occurred when Dvalishvili abruptly stopped fighting, pointing at me in O'Malley's corner, which led to a stern warning from the referee.
Despite the drama before the fight, it ultimately didn't affect Dvalishvili's performance, as he dominated O'Malley for five rounds to win by unanimous decision.
Welch acknowledged that Dvalishvili's emotional burst was significant but inconsequential to the fight itself, highlighting the unpredictable nature of MMA.
