Al Iaquinta believes the UFC can change society by promoting a disciplined fighter like Merab Dvalishvili.
Dvalishvili dethroned Sean O'Malley, who has been marketed to be one of biggest stars of the sport, at UFC 306 last year. “The Machine” submitted O’Malley in their rematch at UFC 316 last weekend.
It is no secret that UFC puts its promotional muscle behind fighters who it believes can be big draws. However, Iaquinta believes it would serve society better for the UFC to hype up a fighter like Dvalishvili, who is an epitome of discipline.
