Merab Dvalishvili responded to the criticism he faced after his fight with Jose Aldo. According to a number of fighters, as well as UFC president Dana White, Dvalishvili should not count on a title fight after such a lackluster victory over the legendary Brazilian.
"I had a hard time timing it to move him down. He was defending well against my take-downs, and I was waiting for him to start punching, and I was ready for him. I was winning the fight, and his job was to move and do something," said the Georgian fighter.
Recall, Dvalishvili defeated Aldo by unanimous decision of the judges.
