Responsible for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Dana White criticized the Georgian fighter Meraba Dvalishvili due to his standing on the promotion’s bantamweight title shot.
Dvalishvili has won nine straight wins, including against former champions Jose Aldo and Petr Yan. In August, Sean O’Malley defeated defending champion Aljamain Sterling in a title fight to win the belt. After that fight, Dvalishvili said he didn’t want to fight for the title and advocated that his friend Sterling be given a rematch.
Everyone knows how I feel about this nonsense. I hate that. Why did you start this sport? If you have this mentality and this way of thinking: “I don’t want a title, I don’t want a championship, we are friends.” It’s not about friendship. It’s about finding out who’s the best in the world, and if you don’t want to find out who’s the best in the world, this isn’t for you. You must be somewhere else. There are plenty of promotions you can fight in and they don’t care what you do. It doesn’t work here, White said, as quoted by mmamania.com.
