UFC president Dana White has warned Merab Dvalishvili over the bantamweight’s decision not to fight friend Aljamain Sterling, who holds the title at 135lbs.
Dvalishvili secured a statement win on Saturday, dominating former champion Petr Yan in the pair’s Fight Night main event in Las Vegas. Dvalishvili, 32, won all five rounds on all three judges’ scorecards, and the Georgian is arguably next in line for a title shot.
