Surging UFC bantamweight contender, Merab Dvalishvili has called promotional president, Dana White’s bluff and rebuffed his warning of fighting teammate, Aljamain Sterling for the division title next – calling for a cool $10,000,000,000 payday to fight the Uniondale native.
Headlining against former undisputed bantamweight champion, Petr Yan last weekend at UFC Las Vegas, Merab Dvalishvili turned in a dominant, one-sided unanimous decision (50-45, 50-45, 50-45) victory over the Dudinka native – and off the back of the victory, has since minted himself as the number ranked contender at the bantamweight limit.
Leapfrogging both Yan and former number one ranked challenger, Sean O’Malley – Dvalishvili, who is the training partner of the above-mentioned champion, Sterling, knocked back calls for him to face his fellow Serra-Longo MMA mainstay next.
