‘The Machine’ Dvalishvili and Patchy Mix have trained together in the past. Both fighters share a cordial relationship with each other and Dvalishvili made it known in a tweet. He congratulated the 29-year-old fighter as he wrote: “Congratulations my brother [Patchy Mix].” Dvalishvili has also beaten Raufeon Stots before he came to the UFC.
