Even after securing the signature victory of his career to date, Merab Dvalishvili made one thing clear: He has no interest in fighting friend and teammate Aljamain Sterling.
“Whenever [Sterling] decides to go up in weight class … I will fight for the title,” Dvalishvili said in the Octagon following a win overin the UFC Fight Night 221 headliner. “Of course I want to be champion, and now I [proved] it again … I am hungry.”
However, UFC president Dana White doesn’t think it’s in Dvalishvil’s best interest to avoid a fight with Sterling. After his win over Yan, Dvalishvili floated the possibility of moving to flyweight if Sterling continues to reign at 135 pounds.
