Merab Dvalishvili, a top fighter in the UFC's bantamweight division, spoke out about his prospects of getting a title shot.
āYes, IĀ believe that I will be given a title chance. Nothing personal. After UFC 298, I met UFC matchmaker Sean Shelby. He walked into the locker room and said, āGreat fight.ā The crowd is going crazy for you.ā IĀ replied, āThank you, sir.ā Thank you for giving me another opportunity to show myself. I'm the next contender for the title." HeĀ said, āGo ahead.ā Such things,ā Dvalishvili said in an interview with The MMA Hour.
Let us remind you that earlier UFC CEO Dana White said after Dvalishviliās victory over Henry Cejudo that Merab is now an official contender for the title fight.
