Mike Perry Slams ‘Childish’ Dana White for Past Criticism of Merab Dvalishvili

Ultimate Fighting Championship veteran Mike Perry recently went on a rant over Dana White’s stance regarding Merab Dvalishvili’s reluctance to fight his friend, Aljamain Sterling.

Dvalishvili picked up a unanimous decision win over former UFC two-division champion Henry Cejudo at UFC 298 earlier this month, to extend his winning streak to 10. During his post-fight press conference appearance, White praised Dvalishvili for his performance, even confirming that the Georgian earned a title shot with his win over Cejudo.

White had previously criticized “The Machine” for avoiding a title fight during the reign of his close friend and teammate Sterling.
