Dana White's Reaction On Merab Dvalishvili DIY Stitches Removal Video

UFC Bantamweight contender Merab Devalishvili is going to fight for the Bantamweight title at UFC 306 against the reigning champion Sean O’Malley. Merab is on a 10-fight win streak and defeated his opponent Henry Cejudo via unanimous decision at UFC 298 to become a worthy challenger to the Bantamweight throne. Less than one month before the much-anticipated title bout, Merab Dvalishvili got a nasty cut over his eyebrows, and what he did after the injury baffled the UFC president. Merab Dvalishvili posted his injury on social media, and Dana White didn’t like that as it revealed the soft spot of the challenger to a sniper like Sean O’Malley, who will capitalize on the opportunity during the fight.

Merab posted another video, this time on his social media handle, and that one really made the UFC president laugh. In the video, Merab was seen removing his stitches using tools meant for Gardening. When Dana White was asked about Merab during a press conference, he couldn’t hold his laugh and scratched his head while saying this.

“Isn’t he awesome? I think he’s just f***ing with me now, to be honest with you.”“This dude had like f***ing bush shears that he was using, trim your bushes with that gardener’s use. Whatever, good for him,”
Dana White said

Whatever the situation, the UFC head honcho is happy if you step inside the octagon for the fight. The main event at Sphere is going to be a great one as Merab Dvalishvili is making it personal for him and will be looking to avenge his friend Aljamain Sterling’s loss at UFC 306. This is what he replied to Sean O’Malley after the Suga allegedly disrespected Georgia.

“You want to disrespect me – this is one thing – we will be professional and settle it in the cage… but now you and your coach crossed the line and disrespected my country. You will pay for this when I see you outside of the cage.”
